Dear Colleagues,
 It is a pleasure to welcome you to the new website of the International Society for Gender Medicine (IGM). This website presents a platform for physicians, scientists and professionals from all para-medical disciplines who are interested in the new science of Gender Medicine and who share the common goal of promoting this science.
The IGM has been created only a few years ago by a group of visionaries including (alphabetically) Prof. Marianne Legato from New York, Prof. Maria Grazia Modena from Modena, Prof. Vera Regitz-Zagrosek from Berlin, Prof. Schenck-Gustafsson from Stockholm and Prof. Jeanette Strametz-Juranek from Vienna.
Within a short time, IGM has gained worldwide reputation, has sponsored 5 international congresses, has promoted research and teaching and has indeed "..put gender on the agenda“.
I personally have been a relative late comer to this scene and have been looking with awe and admiration at the achievements of these highly professional and acclaimed pioneers of Gender Medicine. At the recent election which took place during 5th International Congress on Gender Medicine in Tel Aviv , I humbly accepted the presidency of IGM.
During this congress we also ratified our new bylaws and established with excitement and great anticipation a new framework of collaboration with OSSD. In 2012 we will have in Baltimore our first joint international congress, where we will conduct the first general election according to the new bylaws.
On the pages of this website we will keep you posted on new developments related to our society, we will inform you about the activities of our member societies and we will do our best to promote communication between members and member societies.
Please do not hesitate to give us your comments.
Very cordially
Marek Glezerman, MD
President, International Society for Gender Medicine |
