Drage kolegice i kolege,
Proslijeđujem vam interesantan poziv za sudjelovanje u još jednoj WONCI-noj
radnoj grupi na kongresu koji se održava u Australiji.
Poziv sam upravo dobila i u orginalu ga proslijeđujem na listu.
Ako ima zainteresiranih kolega, bilo bi mi drago da mi se jave i otputuju.
Lp, Dijana RS

>> WWPWFM is pleased to announce bursaries to enable women family physicians to
>> attend the mid triennial meeting in Canberra, Australia. 3-7 September 2012.
>> The mid triennial meetings have been the ‘policy powerhouses’ of the WWPWFM,
>> with members from all over the world contributing and connecting. From
>> Hamilton in 2006 came the Hamilton Equity Recommendations (HER statement)
>> and work on the bylaws changes, and from Norwich in 2009 meeting the Gender
>> Equity Standards for scientific meetings and the LEAD statement by young
>> women doctors.
>> Our meetings have three aims - to further gender equity in Wonca and its
>> member organisations; to further education and research in issues of women's
>> health, and to develop women doctors as leaders.
>> In Canberra we will be working on a checklist and plan for implementing the
>> gender equity standards for meetings, on developing a preconference program
>> and women’s track for the Prague World Conference in 2013, on furthering the
>> equity agenda in our regions, working on principles for gender equity
>> education and providing specific workshops on leadership for young women,
>> and research.

>> to attend the mid triennial meeting We aim that at least half these
>> bursaries will be given to young/new family doctors, (‘young/new’ is defined
>> as family practice/general practice residents, registrars or those within 5
>> years of practice).
>> The bursaries will cover the registration fee (which includes all
>> accommodation and meals in Canberra) plus up to $US 1000 for travel.
>> These bursaries are for women doctors from outside Australia, and will be
>> given through a competitive process.
>> Reimbursement will occur through submission of original receipts only.
