For ten years, Sister Cities of Louisville, the Jefferson County Medical Society, and the University School of Medicine hosted the Sister Cities International Medical Conference.
Healthcare specialists from Louisville's sister cities participated in individualized programs, which included attending lectures and case conferences; viewing surgical and laboratory techniques; and touring various medical centers. The conference was open to physicians, nurses, rehabilitation therapists and other medical professionals.
While Sister Cities no longer organizes the annual medical conference, Sister Cities of Louisville currently creates individualized opportunities for sister cities medical professionals to shadow and tour medical facilities in Louisville and its sister cities.
The International Medical Conference was proudly sponsored by Sister Cities of Louisville, Inc., Jefferson County School of Medicine, and the University of Louisville Hospital. |
