MIRCIM 2023: A one-of-a-kind educational experience

This year marks the eighth time the McMaster International Review Course in Internal Medicine (MIRCIM) is going to be organized in Kraków, Poland. Get ready for 3 rewarding days of intensive learning on 11-13 May 2023. Online and on-site participation options available.

As an annual international meeting, MIRCIM is designed to present the latest clinical practice guidelines, help you hone practical skills during small group workshops, and inspire your future academic and research career. Over 20 lectures split over 2 days will be accompanied by a selection of workshops and satellite sessions. Participants will be able to attend the course on-site or connect remotely.

The program was developed to present a comprehensive yet concise overview of the current medical landscape, with the most practical topics discussed by authors of international guidelines and clinicians-researchers. The lectures, highly praised for informational content and firmly grounded in the principles of evidence-based medicine, offer clearly formulated take-home messages.

Young internists at the beginning of their career can additionally take part in the Best Case Report Contest, with money prizes awarded for the best submissions. During oral and poster sessions, participants will have a chance to discuss their cases with members of an international jury. Abstracts will be subsequently published in the Polish Archives of Internal Medicine (IF, 5.218).

When planning the 3 days of intensive learning during MIRCIM, do not forget about the extensive networking possibilities with physicians from around the world and taking some time off to discover the beauty of Kraków, a former capital of Poland. All participants are also invited to a special Chopin piano concert on May 12, 2023. To help you plan your stay, we have partnered with a travel agency that can take care of all the necessary travel and accommodation arrangements. For those preferring to organize the trip on their own, we have prepared the Plan Your Stay section on the MIRCIM website with practical information and special promotional deals for course participants.
