The conference programme holds more than 130 sessions and includes a faculty of more than 90 national and international speakers, and provides an extensive programme designed to provide the latest updates and information on clinical issues for every day practice in Internal Medicine and Paediatrics.

“The programme content will prepare medical residents in training and clinical practitioners for their board certification and recertification examinations,” said Dr. Abdulmajeed Al Zubaidi, Conference President and Chief Medical Officer at SKMC, certified with the American Board of Internal Medicine.

“Topics included in our annual conference are: Adult and Pediatric Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes and Endocrinology, Infectious Diseases, Emergency Medicine, Allergy, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Hematology, Oncology, Respirology, Rheumatology, Psychiatry, Surgery and Neurology, and so the conference is geared towards healthcare professionals in all medical fields.”

Aiming at teaching healthcare professionals and residents how to apply clinical reasoning to uncommon manifestations and common problems while making recommendations for optimal management of the disease, the conference is designed for pediatricians, general practitioners, family physicians, medical residents and fellows, clinical and community pharmacists and healthcare professionals in all sub-specialties.

The SKMC Multispecialty Conference will take place 28 October to 1 November at the Beach Rotana Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
