About MIRCIM

McMaster International Review Course in Internal Medicine (MIRCIM) is an international review course in internal medicine, held annually since 2015 in the ICE Conference Center in Kraków, Poland.

MIRCIM has been conceived and developed by the McMaster University Department of Medicine, the birthplace of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and problem-based learning (PBL), and the Polish Institute for Evidence Based Medicine. It is organized in collaboration with the European Federation of Internal Medicine, the International Society of Internal Medicine, the Jagiellonian University Medical College, under the umbrella of the American College of Physicians, and in partnership with more than 40 national societies of internal medicine from around the world.

Our aim is to deliver up-to-date and reliable knowledge that is useful to general internists, subspecialists, hospitalists, family physicians, residents and fellows in training specializing in internal medicine — and we are proud to say that we achieve this goal every year.
