The 27th conference of the Korean Society of Clinical Microbiology (KSCM) will be held on June 20-21 at the Suwon Convention Center.
The slogan of the academic conference was “From Microbiology to Infection Control in the Pandemic Era” and the program was designed to strengthen the capabilities of clinical microbiology in preparation and response for the emergence of new infectious diseases and the spread of multidrug resistance.
KSCM has a mid- to long-term development plan to internationalize the conference based on the experience of successfully hosting the Asia Pacific Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infection (APCCMI2023) in 2023.
In addition to Joint symposium officially organized with the Japan Society of Clinical Microbiology (JSCM), we invited speakers recommended by the JSCM to two symposium sessions, and invited overseas speakers for Meet the Expert and Plenary Lecture in conjunction with the APSCMI.
In addition, we are aiming for globalization in terms of content, such as inviting overseas speakers from the United States and other countries to three luncheon symposiums, the session composed of introducing global cutting-edge infection diagnostic products and overseas approval processes, and domestic innovative product approval system by speaker from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
English has been promoted to the second official language of the conference so that overseas participants can digest the entire conference schedule without any inconvenience, including providing poster in English and English subtitles for oral presentations.
The English website of KSCM has been reorganized to allow overseas participants to pre-register and submit abstracts.
As usual, we will provide the participants the opportunities to encounter the latest products from infectious disease diagnostics and antimicrobial pharmaceutical companies, and to exchanges directly with relevant government ministries such as the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
We hope that all members will actively participate in the conference and present their academic research achievements.
We ask for your participation in the Moonlight Tour of Hwaseong, a World Cultural Heritage site, prepared as a program to promote friendship, a tradition of our society's academic conferences.
