3RD INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CONGRESS ONACUPUNCTUREDear friends:We have pleasure in presenting our third International Medical Congress on Acupuncture in Barcelona,organized by the Acupuncture Section of the Col·legi de Metges de Barcelona [Medical College ofBarcelona]. This year is special, given that the Congress will also be a Symposium organized by ICMART,currently the largest organization of acupuncture doctors.The slogan for our Congress “Art, Evidence and Challenges” summarizes our objectives: To talk aboutthe medical art of Acupuncture from its most traditional perspective; to update the scientific evidenceavailable so that Acupuncture can firmly establish itself not only as part of the current health service butalso as a new, more open and integrative medical paradigm; and to meet future challenges. It is in thisspirit that the congress has been organized.In the mornings, there will be broad general topics related to Acupuncture and also sessions on specificpathologies ending in debates, which will open our minds to new ways of understanding and deepen ourawareness. To achieve this we have invited professionals of international renown. In the afternoons wewill enjoy “sessions with experts”, with more scope for study, lectures and explanations about posters.We have allocated plenty of time for oral presentations and posters within the congress timetable andin addition, an independent panel of judges and a prominent company will award generous prizes to thebest three presentations and the best three posters.Without doubt, this is going to be an important world event of benefit to all. This is the hope ofeveryone in the organizing and scientific committees, the Technical Secretariat, the ICMART board andthe Col·legi de Metges de Barcelona.We look forward to seeing you!Dr. Isabel GiraltPresident of the Acupuncture SectionCol·legi Oficial de Metges de Barcelona [Official Medical College of Barcelona]Board of the Acupuncture Section of the Col.legi de Metges de BarcelonaPresident: Dr. Isabel Giralt i SampedroVice-president: Dr. Albert García i JanerasSecretary: Dr. M.
