WONCA WORLD 2025! |
Are you a young doctor, researcher, or family physician looking to grow, connect, and make an impact on a global scale? WONCA is offering three prestigious awards to support your professional development and participation in the WONCA World Conference – Lisbon 2025.
WONCA World, in association with WONCA Europe, the Portuguese Association of General Practice and Family Medicine and the European Young Family Doctors’ Movement have joined forces to financially support young family physicians from across the WONCA Europe region and bring them closer to the global international community of general practitioners. The truly inspirational power and strength of the WONCA and EYFDM community are based on the diversity of their members. Each member is equally important but there is no equality without equity. The Fund has been created to equalize opportunities for participating in the WONCA World Conference and YDM Preconference in Lisbon. We use the Fund especially to support those for whom finances would be a barrier to attending the conference. We are convinced that participation in the mentioned events can boost the motivation of being a great physician and build a strong network of family doctors across the continent. Our goal is to strengthen Primary Care globally by reinforcing, inspiring, and connecting its general practitioners.
There are 5 bursaries of €900 available - find out everything you need to apply here!
