CISTM7 in Innsbruck, Austria

Still Time to Attend

There is still time to make plans to attend what promises to be one of the best travel medicine meetings ever! Many of your fellow members are already packing for Innsbruck. If you are still undecided about whether to go, be forewarned that if you decide to stay at home, you will miss a truly informative and dynamic program. The fast growing international travel market coupled with perhaps the most intense migration in history, makes it imperative to keep up with the latest happening in travel medicine. The date: May 28-31.

CISTM7 will have plenary lectures, symposiums, free communications sessions, posters, debates of the day, workshops (destination of the day workshops which focus in on a single country and ABC workshops for those new to travel medicine), cases of the day, meet the professors, and sessions of special interest to nurses. Consider coming one day early to attend the wilderness medicine pre-meeting course on May 26. This course features an excellent International/Austrian faculty – reason enough to attend the entire meeting. There will also be a wide selection of social events, exhibits, and excursions. If you wish, you will be able to immerse yourself in travel medicine from early morning until late at night. CISTM7 qualifies for credits towards continuing medical education in many countries.

Innsbruck is a fascinating city, an old university town that is at the center of Europe. The spectacular backdrop of the surrounding mountains and a successful blend of old world charm and ultramodern technology, including one of the most modern convention center in Europe, makes Innsbruck the perfect place for both education and recreation.

There are many ways to get to Innsbruck. There are direct flights from some of the major airports in Europe. Innsbruck can also be reached via Munich International Airport (MUC) which is served by most major world airlines. Good deals are often available. The airport has both train and bus service to Innsbruck and no advanced tickets are necessary. Trains leave every hour and the trip takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes. Often you arrive much earlier in Innsbruck via the Munich airport than you do by changing planes somewhere in Europe and then continuing to Innsbruck.

See you in Innsbruck!
