The CIDM banner incorporates an artistic rendition of a commemorative medal crafted by the gifted and prolific Portuguese artist Irene Vilar (1931 –2008). The original medal was designed for the 4th CongressoNacional de Medicina in Lisbon, 1980.
The ‘veiled man’ conveys the inherent uncertainty of the diagnostic process, and the constant quest to clarify truth in science, medicine, and diagnosis.
