The OMI - Salzburg Medical Seminars
Since the Salzburg Weill-Cornell Seminars began in 1993, Weill Medical College of Cornell University faculty members affiliated with the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and The Hospital for Special Surgery have volunteered their time to teach and guarantee the quality of intensive one-week seminars attended by physicians from Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the former Soviet Union.
In 1994 Cornell faculty was joined by faculty from The Childrens’ Hospital of Philadelphia to teach the Salzburg Philadelphia Seminars in Pediatrics. They were later joined by faculty from Duke University Medical Center for family medicine and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University.
The seminars include state-of-the-art lectures, problem-based learning, hands-on workshops, case presentations and computer training. The fostering of freely exchanged ideas and the opportunity to develop professional relationships are two of the most important aspects of the program. By working together as colleagues seminar participants return to their homelands better prepared to treat their patients.

The Salzburg-Duke Seminars for Family Medicine and Public Health in affiliation with Duke University Medical Center were started in 1995 with a grant from UNIQA and Duke University. Duke University was one of the first U.S. medical centers to combine a network of General Practitioners with the services of a leading medical center for the benefit of the community. It is of great importance to establish a comparable infrastructure for health care delivery in Eastern Europe.
