Dear Colleagues,

We are honored, on behalf of the Serbian Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, welcome your participation at the 15th Congress of physiatrists of Serbia with international attendance, which will take place in Vrnjacka Banja from 21 - 24 May 2015.

Our congresses are held each year and traditionally gather physiatrists, rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, pediatricians, children's surgeons, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, neurologists and other members of rehabilitation teams, in order to present and exchange scientific achievements, professional innovations, knowledge and experience, all with aim to increase our knowledge in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation and improve the health of our patients.

This year's Congress, as well as all congresses so far, is organized by the Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of Serbia. All articles that undergo strict review by scientific committee, will be published as abstracts or in whole, in the journal "Balneoclimatologia".

This year we expect to hear about new documents adopted at meetings of EUPRM and ISPRM, currently at introductory phase, but soon to be binding. Also, we are looking forward to address the role of the specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation in the rehabilitation of patients with severe physical disability and with complex special needs, those who require the attention of a specialist multi-professional team led PRM expert.

A series of sponsored lectures and symposia will further expand our clinical experience and improve our skills in the rehabilitation of ill and injured.

With positive experiences from previous congresses, we guarantee that you will refresh their knowledge and expand it with latest discoveries in various fields of rehabilitation.

Welcome to the 15th Congress of physiatrists Serbia.
