FDIME-EFIM 21st Clinical Research Seminar

We are pleased to announce the launch of the 21st FDIME and EFIM Clinical Research Seminar. The sponsorship for this seminar is provided by the Foundation for the Development of Internal Medicine in Europe (FDIME). Thanks to this support, we are able to offer up to 15 bursaries to Young Internists from EFIM member countries who wish to strengthen their career skills in Clinical Research. The bursaries cover three nights of hotel accommodation and economy‑class travel to Paris, up to a maximum of €500. Selected residents will be responsible for booking their own economy‑class travel to Paris. Travel costs will be reimbursed after attendance at the seminar. Hotel arrangements will be handled directly by FDIME.
