The global communication and the need for continuous professional development in General Practice and Family Medicine has developed Internet-based learning platforms and stimulated communication and knowledge sharing among peers.

Bearing this in mind, the Virtual General Practice and Family Medicine Working Group of the Portuguese Association of General Practitioners has organized the First Virtual Congress of General Practice and Family Medicine, that took place from April to June 2008 at www.congressovirtualmgf.com.

We  are now committed in organizing the Second Edition of this Virtual Congress, with increased know-how and expertise. One of our principal novelties is the International Advisory Board, a group of colleagues that will counsel us through this journey.

Our motto is scientific quality and the entrance is free of charge. We expect the participation of medical students, interns/trainees, General Practitioners/Family Physicians and doctors from other specialties.

The official language of the Second Virtual Congress of General Practice and Family Medicine is english.
