Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

The year 2013 is almost over. Usually this is the time to reflect as well as to hopefully look into a bright future with New Year’s resolutions. Regarding events in the field of medicine and healthcare, the upcoming year 2014 indeed brings a bright future.


The Duke Graduate School is offering a free online course in scientific writing to improve your soft skills, and with the course in Strategic Health Planning you can gain advanced management skills.

The European Society for Sexual Medicine will hold its annual conference to reflect and develop latest insights in the field of sexual medicine at the beginning of next year.

If you want to start the New Year with a new job, you can find some very interesting job offers in Abu Dhabi, Germany and Austria in our German job newsletter.
I hope you had a successful and educated year 2013 and I wish you and your beloved ones all the very best for the upcoming year 2014.

Warm regards

Gerhard Polak, MD
