SASOM Annual Congress 2023

SASOM’s CPD-accredited virtual annual congress was held over four months in 2023 – the last Friday of the months of June, July, August, and September (13h00 to 17h00 SA time) – to offer its members four congress sessions with individual themes, with four presentations in each session.

The overall theme of the Congress is “Occupational Health Practice in 2023 – Shining a light on the shadows of Medicine”, and this common thread linked all four sessions.
