About ESIM

 

Download a brief history of ESIM here -->

ESIM was founded in 1997 in Alicante, Spain, and was the brainchild of Professor Jaime Merino, then President of the European Federation of Internal Medicine (EFIM). His purpose was twofold: to provide an exciting scientific programme on advances in Internal Medicine, and to develop links between young residents in training from all over Europe.

The School was an immediate success, both scientifically and socially, and has was held annually in Spain until 2006. From 2006 to 2008 it was hosted in Lisbon, under the successful direction of Antonio Martins Baptista, who joined Chris Davidson as Co-Director of the School in Greenwich, London in 2009.
 

Some links to previous Schools are provided below; the programmes show the varied nature of the topics covered and the increasing use of workshops in place of lectures to increase student interaction; and the relaxed atmosphere is clearly evident from the pictures and interviews on these web sites.
