sees the patient as a physical, mental and emotional unity in his family and other social surroundings.

It is the expression of an attitude towards the patient regardless to the specific qualification of the doctor or of the function of a therapist.

75th international meeting, 20th to 23rd august 2025 in Montmirail (CH)

Dear friends of the medicine of the person

At our 75th meeting since 1947, we ask ourselves the following question

How do we experience Medicine of the Person today?

What has changed in 75 years in medicine, in society and in us as doctors, in terms of the doctor-patient relationship? 

Lectures and Bible studies will give us ideas for small group discussions and personal exchanges, so that we can all rethink and develop our personal approach to patients. 

You can find the full programme here.

As usual, we'll visit the area around Montmirail on guided excursions before the study days, and take the opportunity to socialise and get to know each other. (From 17 to 20 August 2025)

Registration deadline: 15 May 2025.

Use the online registration form here. 

You can also print out the registration form and send it by post or e-mail to the regional secretariat.   

We look forward to welcoming you to Montmirail in August 2025 and send you our warmest greetings.

The preparation team.
