Dublin Symposium 2010 is a scientific congress that has been an annual tradition for Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia (IMAM). IMAM was established in 1989 and recognized as one of the largest medical professional organisation in Malaysia. It is comprised of doctors, paramedics and medical students who carry out voluntary work outside the confines of the government and private sectors. IMAM is also an active member of Federation of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA).



Dublin Symposium 2010 will be the seventh symposium following the six successful symposiums in Dublin Hilton Hotel (2004), Manchester Royal Infirmary Center (2005, 2007), Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (2006,2008) and Hebden Hey Scout Centre, West Yorkshire(2009). The symposiums have maintained a good rapport with Malaysia government and officiated by Malaysia notable figures such as Prime Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Director-General of Health, Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Hj. Mohd. Ismail bin Merican.

Realizing the importance of producing competent, innovative and diplomatic medical graduates, this coming symposium will highlight “The twisted tales of medicine, unravel the myths creating a legend” as the theme. It combines three main slots of the 2 days programme, which are students’ life, the early part of a doctor’s life and the contributions of a doctor, which blend the Islamic values in order to foster human capital in this valuable asset of the nation. This is parallel to the country’s mission which is to generate professionals who are accomplished and capable of contributing not only in local community but also globally.

This international event will be participated by 200 medical students and practising doctors from Malaysia, Ireland, United Kingdom, Russia and Czech Republic. – speakers will take part in this symposium and it will be officiated by ---. We really hope that the participants will realize their significant role as the future Muslim professionals thus getting the correct paradigm and not just play their role as an ordinary professionals but beyond than that.
