CongressMed is a Tel Aviv based company specializing in the development and enhancement of medical education through concept congresses. CongressMed congresses are fully devoted to controversial issues in a debate format, aiming to reach consensus on unresolved clinical dilemmas in a wide range of medical and scientific fields.

Educational needs and expected outcomes
The goal of the congresses is to reach actual and agreed-upon answers to some of these controversies, even when proofs are lacking, and to reach current conclusions to the 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.
