Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to join us at the 3rd Congress of the European Federation of Internal Medicine to be held in Edinburgh on May 9–12, 2001.

Scotland’s beautiful capital city, designated a World Heritage Site, has a long history of medical achievement and has had commercial, academic and cultural associations with every country in Europe over many centuries.You will find the Congress meeting to be a rewarding professional experience and will also have the opportunity to visit the historic buildings of Edinburgh and the attractive surrounding countryside.

The content of the Congress meeting will be very varied, covering all of the major specialties but with emphasis toward the general aspect of Internal Medicine. In addition to keynote addresses there will be scientific presentations and subject reviews with full opportunities for discussion.The Congress will provide a valuable contribution to your continued professional development and we all look forward to your company.

Your host for the Congress will be the Federation of Medical Royal Colleges of the UK (jointly, the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and the Royal College of Physicians of London).
