Dr. Charo Rodriguez, Director of the FMER Group, co-instructed two intensive workshops at the 2026 Summer Institute in Advanced Research Methodologies. The international programme brought together 36 participants for advanced training and scholarly exchange.

The third FMER-PRAM Crossroad Panel Discussion explored the role of patient groups in family medicine and their implications for healthcare delivery, medical education, and participation science. Through interdisciplinary dialogue and audience engagement, the event fostered meaningful discussion about the future of collaborative and patient-centred care.

Following a review of submissions for the 2026 International Pierre Pluye Awards, the Evaluation Committee unanimously determined that no award would be conferred this year. The 2027 competition will be launched in September 2026.
