Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to the 5th International Mediterranean Family Medicine Congress (IMFMC ‘21) which is to be held on 22– 25 April 2021. Since the COVID-19 pandemic is going on with traveling restrictions and rules for social distancing we are not able to run a conference with presence in Valencia, Spain. This is sad but your safety is our highest priority. In order to maintain our work as healthcare professionals as well as researchers and teachers we think that we can offer an excellent solution. We have switched to a totally virtual conference with the same time frame. The theme of the conference is “Leading Innovations in Family Medicine for a Better Healthcare” and will cover the broad diversity of disciplines within family medicine, offering a dynamic and highly enriching program.

The congress IMFMC 2021 where you will find an advanced scientific program with lecture-discussions, workshops, oral, and poster presentations will bring together Family Physician, Academia and Primary Health Care Providers to explore and discuss opportunities and strengths related to research and use of healthcare.

A high-level expert from Family Medicine Academia will open the conference. Individual sessions are informed by a series of keynote speakers, including high-level representatives from Family Medicine Associations. We look forward to an exciting congress that promises great scientific content and to the interaction with all distinguished guests and colleagues from around the world.

IMFMC 2021 will be a memorable experience for all of you, where Valencia, the gem of Mediterranean Region of Spain, provides an exquisite background for an open exchange of ideas and presentations of new research.

We encourage you to use this excellent opportunity to gain insights into the current and future developments in medicine and experience the warm hospitality of  Valencia together with its unique culture and heritage.

We hope that you will be able to further friendships and strengthen scientific collaboration and enjoy on 22 – 25 April 2021 at IMFMC.

Yours sincerely,

Prof. Dr. Ersin AKPINAR

Chair, IMFMC 2021
