Two sides. One answer.

CongressMed education is fully devoted to addressing controversial issues in a debate format.

We aim to reach a consensus on unresolved clinical dilemmas in a wide range of medical and scientific fields.

CongressMed’s concept congresses stem from the inefficiency and the stagnation of current congresses to promote real discussion and interaction between practicing physicians and researchers on unresolved pressing clinical issues.

The goal of our congresses is to reach actual and agreed-upon answers to controversial issues, even when proofs are lacking, and to reach current conclusions to ongoing debates in the field through evidence-based medicine or through expert opinion, and speaker-audience discussions. Reaching consensus through discussions and publishing consensus papers are also encouraged.

The programs are designed to provide an effective forum for discussing and debating unresolved controversies by allowing ample time for speakers-audience discussions.

Built on the success of COGI

CongressMed is a Tel Aviv based company specializing in the development and enhancement of medical education through concept congresses.

CongressMed was incorporated in early 2010 by a team of entrepreneurs with extensive experience in the development and management of medical concept congresses.

CongressMed’s flag brand is the World Congress on Controversies in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility (COGI), which was founded by Chairman Prof. Zion Ben Rafael. Moreover, COGI was previously organized by various PCOs until it became the foundation of CongressMed. The COGI Congress counts over 2,000 participants, taking place each year in both Europe and Asia and has become one of the most influential conferences in its field since its first edition in 1999. CongressMed has learned from the overwhelming success of this congress and applied it to various fields of medicine.
