EFIM Winter Newsletter 2021

Dear Friends and Colleagues, As we’re coming to the end of the year, I would like to congratulate each of you once again. It has been a year full of challenges for us as internists and those challenges will continue in 2022. Once again, the current situation, has made it clear how important the role of internists in Europe and worldwide is assuming the crucial role in the prevention and care of the COVID-19 patients. We have been working together at EFIM’s office and virtually to ensure that all society members are able to learn from the latest development at the EFIM, while reinforcing EFIM’s ongoing activities and strengthening the collaboration with the current members, new members and EFIM partners. Together with the EFIM Executive Committee were able to produce a high-level scientific congress in 2021 during the virtual edition of ECIM, re-launched EFIM Fellowship building a European network of internal medicine physicians, organised EFIM Day with the Presidents of the national societies learning from each member the issues faced during the pandemics and launched the EFIM Academy. I would like to thank you for your trust, and great cooperation raising awareness of internal medicine in Europe and further encouraging greater collaboration among internists. I would like to wish all societies members Happy Holidays and a very Happy and most important Healthy and Prosperous New Year! Have a wonderful break and we are hoping to meet with you in Malaga during the ECIM 2022.
