REPORT OF THE 4th MILITARY HEALTH COURSE ON METHODOLOGY AND MEDICAL WRITING
This year, the course was composed of two simultaneous sessions in both French and English languages, with some joint conferences held in plenary sessions. It was designed to encourage the medical publishing in national and international journals and to increase the chances of acceptance of submitted manuscripts. This course targeted 52 learners including 9 participants from seven ICMM country members: Algeria, Burkina Faso, Jordan, Mauritania, Palestine, Qatar and Sudan. Tunisian participants were from the military health service and the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis. The teaching committee was composed of Tunisian military and civilian Faculty members and enhanced by the participation of international speakers from USA and France who shared their experience in medical writing in both francophone and Anglophone sessions.
The scientific program of the course included theoretical lectures and workshops divided on 33 hours for each session. The training was interactive. Each session was conducted by a speaker helped by facilitators. Group works were conducted in writing exercises. The francophone session comprised 21 conferences and 9 workshops. The English session included 17 conferences and 8 workshops.
The opening ceremony was chaired by the Surgeon General of Tunisian Armed Forces, Brigadier General (Pr) Mondher YEDEAS and attended by many guests, among them, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis. He presented the opening conference about plagiarism. The closing ceremony, also chaired by the Surgeon General, was an opportunity to hand the course certificates to the participants. The organizing committee thanks all the scientific partners who have helped to make this event an international course. We also thank the participants for their attentions, inputs and motivation and for the level of the exchange brought during all this event. International Medical officers from ICMM members’ states are kindly invited to take part to the next session of the course held in Tunis during the period from 3 to 7 April 2017.
