President's message

Dear All,

As 2016 draws near its close, we look to 2017 with the 12th Armenian Medical World Congress to be held in fabulous Buenos Aires. Registration and abstract submission are now open. Tune to www.12amwc.com

Early Bird registration can save you up to $100 in registration fees, through the end of December.  Do it now!

AMIC has lost two dear colleagues, Dr Jacques Yervant of Paris, and Dr Ara Ter Grigoryan of Yerevan.  We will hold their memories in our hearts as we press forward.

Pachikner,
Jerry Manoukian MD

Register for the 12th Armenian Medical World Congress

Registration online is easy ... and the Early Bird discount is available through December 31.  Abstract submission and hotel reservation are also available through the 12amwc.com website.

There is also a link to the hotel reservations.  A block of rooms is reserved for the Congress.  If you try to log directly into the Hilton website and don't see the rooms available, it is because the rooms are blocked for Congress attendees.  Use the link from the 12amwc.com website.

AMIC mourns the passing of two of our dear colleagues.

Dr Jacques Yervant was president of UMAF - Paris from 1993 to 1996.  He was a solid member of the AMIC core committee, a regular at our annual General Assembly meetings for many years.  He was thoughtful, energetic, and lots of fun.  

Dr Ara Ter Grigoryan practiced in Yerevan and served for several years on the AMIC General Assembly.  He worked in the Ministry of Health and on the organizing committees for the International Medical Congresses of Armenia.
