Dear colleagues

Last year the Tver State Medical Academy took part in the European survey “Teaching of cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation in European medical schools 2009” organized and conducted by the European Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation. This was the first report of the kind in Europe, and a second survey will be conducted in 2011. Please find here the final report of the survey 2009 provided to us by the EACPR and Dr. Pedro Marques-Vidal.

Dear Colleagues! 

This year is highlighted by a remarkable event - celebration of 200^th anniversary birthday of one of the first Russian nurses Ekaterina Mikhailovna Bakunina. Her name is inseparably linked with both history of the Tver land and the history of foundation and development of Russian medicine. 

In the context of the celebrations the Tver State Medical Academy and the Tver Nursing School together with the Society of Orthodox Doctors will held a conference devoted to the life and work of this outstanding Russian woman. The conference will be attended by members of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Y.L. Shevchenko, A.G. Chuchalin, S.I. Vorobiev, and President of the Society of Orthodox Doctors A.V. Nedostup.  

The Organizing Committee invites you to take an active part in the conference that will be held in the frame of the celebrations of Days of Slavic Culture on May 24, 2010 in the premises of the Tver State Medical Academy.

Dear Students and Young Doctors,

The ISSC Team invites you to the 18th International Student Scientific Conference (ISSC) for Students and Young Doctors which will be held from 22nd to 24th April 2010 in Gdansk, Poland.

The ISSC is an annual scientific meeting at the Medical University of Gdansk which brings together young researchers from various medical disciplines. During three days the ISSC offers 10 independent sessions, lectures by invited speakers, workshops and discussion groups.

The objective of the Salzburg Medical Seminars is to help physicians achieve their goals by providing free, state-of-the-art information and education in a neutral, non-threatening environment.

The OMI - Salzburg Medical Seminars (the Salzburg-Weill Cornell Seminars, the Salzburg-CHOP Seminars for Pediatrics, the Salzburg-Cleveland Seminars, the Salzburg-Duke Seminar and the Salzburg-Columbia Seminars) link physicians from leading American hospitals and their affiliated medical schools with physicians practicing in Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the former Soviet Union and other countries in transition.

Under the auspices of The American Austrian Foundation, the seminars are funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture and The Open Society Institute, as well as corporate and individual donors.

45 students of the MASHAV course on “Management Policy and Leadership in Nursing” who have successfully completed all its demands were awarded with Russian-Israeli certificates on Friday, December 11.

Classes of the course were conducted by representatives of the Ministry of Health of Israel Ms Ella Koren, RN, MSEd, PhD and Ms Liora Vesterman RN, MPA.
