YOUNG DOCTORS’ MOVEMENTS PRECONFERENCE

The Young Doctors' Movements (YDM) Preconference will take place from 2–3 November 2027, immediately preceding the WONCA World Conference 2027.

Hosted in the breathtaking city of Cape Town, South Africa, this dynamic two-day gathering will bring together junior general practitioners, family medicine registrars, medical students and early-career specialists from across the globe.

More than just a conference, the YDM Preconference is an opportunity to connect with the next generation of family doctors, build lasting international networks, share innovative ideas and explore the future of primary healthcare together. Expect inspiring discussions, practical learning, cultural exchange, and the warmth and hospitality for which South Africa is known.

With the iconic backdrop of Table Mountain, this preconference promises to be an unforgettable experience. From meaningful discussions to new friendships and professional collaborations, it will be a unique platform to celebrate the diversity, resilience and passion of young family physicians worldwide.
