Michael Berger Award for André Knottnerus
Professor André Knottnerus has received the Michael Berger Award. The award is a recognition of André’s outstanding international achievements in the field of evidence-based medicine and patient-centredness.

This congress is organised by the Institute of General Medicine (ifam), the Cochrane Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders Group (CMED) and the Centre for Health and Society (CHS) from the Medical Faculty of the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf.
