The Doctor as a Humanist Virtual Symposium

Following on from the success of the 2nd The Doctor as a Humanist Symposium held in April 2019, Sechenov University in collaboration with Anahuac University in Mexico City introduces a new series of Virtual symposia. The Symposium will be held every Monday starting from Monday 27th April at 3pm (Moscow Time), when the symposium will be officially opened by Prof Andrey Svistunov and the Dean of Anahuac Medical Faculty, Dr Jose Carrillo. Invited speakers are the leading medical professionals and experts working in the field of healthcare research and practice.

All those who are interested can attend these series of virtual symposia. Registration is free and open to everyone. Those who would like to have a certificate of attendance will have to pay a small amount. One of the main ideas of this Virtual Symposium is to raise awareness of the problems that the International medical community now faces due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so, with this in mind, the money raised by these symposia will go to Red Cross in Mexico to help fight COVID-19.
