COMPLEXITY IN MEDICINE

Florence, Convitto della Calza

March 5th – 6th – 7th, 2004

 

The 3rd SIOMI National Congress provides a meeting place for physicians from different cultural backgrounds but equally committed to progress in medical thought. The title of the congress is intentionally ambitious. It derives from the need to reconsider some aspects of the medical profession in view of the current evolution in scientific thought. The event will involve 7 different thematic sessions to:

 

·  outline the professional dimension of physicians and chemists, experts in complementary medicines;

·   present some important news on scientific research in our field;

·   initiate a dialogue on the possibilities and limitations of EBM and the need to provide a platform for the daily experience of physicians, experts in complementary medicine. A “friendly” challenge to launch a new form of medicine;

·        compare the conditions of complementary medicines in Italy and in Europe, as well as the possibility of achieving an integrated medical culture in each nation;

·        communicate and compare daily experiences in order to identify the criteria that can be shared with scientific research and clinical auditing.

 

Finally, some reflections will be made on the complexity of man, medicine and science today.

 

This is one challenge which moves us to enthusiasm: we are betting that the cultural patrimony of Homeopathy and Anthroposophy, well protected and developed, will be able to offer, tomorrow even more so than today, more efficient therapeutic responses to the health needs of all individuals.
