Vasco da Gama Movement (VdGM) Pre-Conferences

Every year before WONCA (the World Organization of National Colleges, Academies and Academic Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians) Europe Conference, a Pre-Conference is organized with the leadership of VdGM members and volunteers who wants to become a member of Pre-Conference organization in home country. Pre-Conferences are very important to gather all young resident GPs (General Practitioners) / FPs (Family Physicians) and specialists in their 5 years. It is the most suitable place to conduct information between countries and to discuss about the future of young GPs/FPs and their problems. Also, it creates an environment to generate new, bright ideas for our discipline and gives a chance to develop them. Last year, Vasco da Gama Movement (VdGM) celebrated its tenth anniversary at the Pre-Conference Lizbon 2014.
