It is recognised worldwide that the subject of PROFESSIONALISM needs to be formally taught in medical schools. Yet, many of us continue to ask: What do we understand by professionalism? Why is it necessary to teach it?
There is much room for discussion on this. Share your thoughts with us at the upcoming Regional Conference on Professionalism in Medicine 2006 and gain new insights from this learning experience!

Be sure to allow time to explore Lisbon. In the words of Lonely Planet Portugal, “Add today’s cultural diversity together with a laid-back ambience and an architectural time-warp, and you have one of Europe’s most enjoyable cities.” The physical setting alone makes Lisbon an appealing destination. Lisbon is built on hills overlooking the Tagus River where the river meets the Atlantic Ocean. The older parts of the city are rich with murals of azulejo tiles, art nouveau buildings, sidewalks paved with decorative patterns of tiny black and white stones, public staircases leading steeply upward through ancient neighborhoods, double-decker buses, and funicular tramways where you may see a cat hop aboard and get off at the next stop.
Remember, the Early Bird registration deadline is July 17.
