4TH CONGRESS
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF GENDER MEDICINE (IGM)
“SEX AND GENDER IN MEDICINE”
Berlin, November 6 – 8, 2009

“The aim of the congress was to define gender research as a fascinating newly emergent field that is composed of basic research, clinical research, health care research, and teaching elements. It has different facets in different parts of
the world but also a common core. We welcomed about 250 participants from all over the world. They included delegates from Australia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Africa, from all over Europe, Canada, the United States of America, and South America. We had invited 40 faculty members and 92 poster presentations were accepted. The field was interdisciplinary and included social sciences and history.

The congress adjourned in high spirits with the promise to meet again in the year 2010 in Israel with Marek Glezerman as host. Some of the participants might meet before in a Summer School on Gender Medicine in Berlin, September 22-25, 2010 hosted by the GiM.”
