Open Medical Club

An Alumni Organization for Fellows of the OMI-Salzburg Medical Seminars International established for the purpose of continuously updating medical knowledge and skills.


The Open Medical Club (OMC)

Is a physical as well as a virtual network where graduates of the OMI-Salzburg Medical Seminars International (SMSI) can come together, share experiences and acquire new medical information. The key goals are distance learning and capacity building.

The Virtual OMC - networking through cyberspace

A fellow whocompletes an OMI-SMSI is automatically an alumnus. This same fellow will be given free access to state-of-the-art medical information via the: Medical Handbook Online and will be able to order additional CDs from our online CD Rom Library. In the future, we will also offer alumni access to a Global Case Library, web conferencing and other elearning services, medical journals, and an online forum and/or chatroom.

The Physical OMC - networking through personal contacts

An alumnus can also join the local OMC in his/her country or, if one does not already exist, help to establish an OMC in your country. Local OMCs are closely linked to the OMI/OSI country coordinators. In order to be an active member of the OMC, the first step would be to contact the local OSI and/or related partner/NGO. In countries where there is no local contact available, please contact our Salzburg or Vienna Office.
