300 to 500 words, in New Times Roman 12 to Professor Carlos Viesca, whose email is cviesca@frontstage.org
The abstracts will be forwarded to the Scientific Committee and you should have an acceptance letter within two weeks.
Once accepted, we ask you send us the complete text, not exceeding 10 pages, with the same type and size of characters
as for the abstracts. The deadline for this will be 31st May 2008. This is to allow us to have the Proceedings book
ready in time for the congress.

http://www.facmed.unam.mx/eventos/congresos/cihm/c_i.html
For registration, there will be a reduction if fees are paid before 31st May. The bank account is not ready at
present but will be included in the website as soon as possible.
The website gives fees. The deadline for reduced Congress fees is 31st May. (The difference between members of ISHM and non members is 50 euros, so if any one is interested in going but is not an ISHM member it's worth joining ISHM as for the same price they will get 2 issues of Vesalius).
