International Conference on Open Source Software for Health (INCOSSH2008)’s Call for Participation by IOSN-InWEnt-USM

October 8, 2008 · Comments 

The preceding decade has witnessed numerous new developments with regard to medical knowledge, medical technology and healthcare. To avoid being left behind, it is imperative that we initiate steps so as to be more innovative in exploiting these new advances for the benefit of patients, particularly in Malaysia and throughout the Asia Pacific region in general. In realizing this aim, the Malaysian government has taken the smart initiative in establishing the Advanced Medical and Dental Institute (AMDI) which will function to manifest this aspiration particularly for the benefit of the public in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia as well as throughout Malaysia in general.

The main mission of AMDI is to function as the prime catalyst in producing scientists and dental and medical specialists who are competent, holistic and contemporary in their practice and profession as well as being capable of generating novel discoveries in the fields of medicine and dentistry. To realize this aim, AMDI will adopt a comprehensive approach embracing both clinical and pure sciences in training, service and research. It is envisioned that this “cross fertilization” philosophical approach will foster a fertile and inventive environment that will increase the probability of new discoveries in both dentistry and medicine. Hence, the AMDI infrastructure will be designed to facilitate this cross-fertilization approach.
