SOI Asia had conducted two lectures in the past - it can be reviewed at http://www.soi.wide.ad.jp/soi-asia/med_sciences/

Hopefully this activity could be a space to share expertise of the latest medical sciences technology for wider practice and for stronger education by utilizing Information Technology and network in Asia.

In accordance to the medical education initiative, APAN (Asia-Pacific Advanced Network) invites all interested partners to attend the 33rd APAN Meeting from 13 to 17 February in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
