Abstract
The First Geneva Conference on Person-centered Medicine, held in May 2008, was intended to present and discuss what had been learnt up to that time about person-centered principles and the work which was being progressed on the conceptual basis of person-centered medicine. The aim was to engage major international medical and health organizations in order to identify promising organizational steps for the further development of person-centered medicine and healthcare. The challenge to be faced was to develop specific concepts, competencies, procedures and resources to facilitate the application of a truly person-centered approach in everyday clinical practice [1]. The conference demonstrated the importance of collaboration in this venture among different medical specialists and across health professions, so that science and humanism could be articulated together in order to work respectfully with our patients towards every person's greater health and life project's fulfilment.
