Conference Exchanges

The Vasco da Gama Movement: For Young & Future Family Doctors

Conference Exchanges are organised around a conference of senior or junior General Practitioners/Family Doctors and usually include also a visit of one or two days to a GP/FD office in that country. All these exchanges offer a free or reduced conference fee. Some exchanges also offer free accomodation and reimbursed travel expenses. Places are limited (usually one participant/country) and in order to be selected you have to contact your National Exchange Coordinator by a given date.
