Thank you for Attending the Course
13th – 15th August 2021
Organised by Malaysian Medical Association (Penang Branch)
This is the 23 rd session of the above Conference that is being organised by the Penang Branch of the Malaysian Medical Association. It is open to all primary health care doctors, in the both the private and government sectors, to update and upgrade their knowledge and skills.
All the previous Conferences were physical events. However, in view of the on- going Covid-19 pandemic, this Conference this year, for the 1 st time, will be held entirely on a VIRTUAL PLATFORM, so that you can attend from the comfort of your arm chair at home.
The programme encompasses key areas covering Internal Medicine, Paediatrics, Dermatology, General Surgery, Orthopaedics, O&G, Psychiatry and Vaccinations, and the speakers are experts in their own special disciplines.
We look forward in welcoming you, to join us at the above 23 rd Penang Teaching Conference for GP’s – Going Virtual.
