MEMC V- SESSION TITLES AND SPEAKERS NOW ONLINE, APPLY TO THE CPC COMPETITION!
The Mediterranean Emergency Medicine Congress<http://www.emcongress.org/2009/>

The Scientific Programme has expanded, with the announcement of session titles and confirmed speakers.  Please visit http://www.emcongress.org/2009/program.php to view the programme.  In addition, the descriptions for the pre-congress courses can be found by clicking on the titles of the workshop at http://www.emcongress.org/2009/precongress.php



The Fifth Mediterranean Emergency Medicine Congress (MEMC V) will be hosting a Clinical Pathologic Case (CPC) competition on Wednesday, 16 September in Valencia, Spain.  We are currently soliciting contestants. If you or someone in your program is interested in competing, please email CPC co-chair Dr. Carl Germann at germac at mmc.org<mailto:germac at mmc.org>.



In summary, contestants will each receive an interesting, different and challenging case no less than four weeks prior to the competition.



The case will include a text description of a patient presentation including history, physical exam, other pertinent facts and ancillary studies. These ancillary studies often consist of laboratory data, electrocardiograms, x-rays and occasionally CT scan images. Based upon the information provided, the contestant will create a twenty-minute presentation discussing the differential diagnosis and ultimately the suspected diagnosis of the case. Presenters are judged on the quality of their presentation. The most important judging criterion is the quality of the differential diagnosis, but contestants will also be judged on their presentation skills including visual impact of their presentation and adherence to time limits. Contestants will receive bonus points for obtaining the correct diagnosis.



APPROACHING DEADLINES: Poster submissions and Early Bird Registration discount deadlines are 30 June 2009!



The deadline to submit your poster abstract is 30 June 2009.  Do not miss out on the opportunity to present in Valencia!  And in order to receive your discounted registration rate, you must register for the Congress no later than 30 June 2009.
