It is my pleasure to welcome you to join us for this first LAU Gilbert & Rose-Marie Chagoury School of Medicine Internal Medicine meeting, titled “Hot Topics in Internal Medicine” to be held Saturday 22 June, 2019 at the LAU Beirut campus.

The targets of this seminar are to share with the medical community at large the most up to date knowledge in Internal Medicine, to exchange experience and expertise, and to live up to its mission of continuous medical education, “devoted to improve health in a patient centered evidence based medicine”.

These are really extraordinary times with the latest developments in techniques and therapeutic approaches in Cardiology, Pulmonary Medicine and Gastroenterology as well as the improved understanding of the mechanisms of disease in Oncology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology and Infectious Diseases. New and improved methods in approaching primary and emergency care will also be presented.

The seminar will be presented by highly specialized and renowned faculty from the LAU Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury School of Medicine with participation of experts from other medical schools in Lebanon and will target a large spectrum of physicians, residents, medical students and other health professionals from various fields. Continuous medical education credits will be offered through the Lebanese Order of Physicians.

It will be an exciting exchange and we look forward to work with a large number of physicians and to forge together a new experience of learning from each other.
