Dear Colleagues,

Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes. - Peter Drucker

We are proud to announce JIC 2015 (January 23-25, 2015) in Ahmedabad, India.

Learning is a continuous process and it is our endeavour to match your expectations each year.

JIC being held successfully from the last 10 years (formerly known as CIMS CON) has been an attempt, to share knowledge and

learning amongst the medical fraternity and also to create a forum of newer ideas, exchanges and cooperation. The aim has always

been to bring to you'll the latest and best in terms of topics and faculty. And your response has always been overwhelming.

JIC 2014 had a stupendous attendance of over 2000 delegates.

JIC will feature over 100 National & International faculty and over 200 lectures to provide an intense educative experience. Experts

from all fields will deliver academic insights -discuss and learn about the latest techniques, updates, research and trials to allow you

to turn this information into actions that will improve the patients' quality of life.

Despite advance in medicine and technology, health care regularly fails in its fundamental job of reliable delivery. In the face of

increasing complexities, physicians can no longer guarantee efficient, high quality care. Fixing health care will require a radical

transformation, moving from a system organized around “individual physicians” to a “team” based approach focused on “patients”.

Doctors will be central players in the transformation in acknowledging and adopting the team based approach for a complete

health care delivery to all patients.

This year we also announce an Abstract/Poster competition for MD (Medicine) students, the details of which are overleaf.

Bringing together the entire healthcare community, JIC 2015 will provide you with a richly educational experience and an

international platform for expression.

JIC is held in Ahmedabad, one of the fastest growing cities of India. Located on the banks of river Sabarmati, Ahmedabad is richly

endowed with architectural marvels of Islamic, Hindu and Jain Heritage.

We heartily invite you to the Conference for an extensive educative curriculum and to soak in the city's energetic ambience and

marvellous hospitality.

Regards,

Dr. Keyur Parikh Dr. Milan Chag Dr. Mahendra Vegad (GMERS, Sola)

Kankaria Lake: A polygonal lake almost a mile in circumference, it was constructed in 1451 by Sultan Qutb-ud-Din. In the centre of the lake is an island-garden with a summer palace known as Nagina Wadi. The lake is now a popular recreational centre and is surrounded by parks, 'Bal Vatika', children's gardens, a boat club, natural history museum and a zoo. Lighting and special effects on the walkway and sumptuous food of the restaurants in the central garden make the lake a worthwhile place to visit or spend an evening.
