Dr Xavier Corbella named Secretary-General of the European Federation of Internal Medicine

Dr Xavier Corbella, vice-dean of Institutional Relations for the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, is the new Secretary-General of the European Federation of Internal Medicine (EFIM), thus becoming the organisation’s chief officer.

Corbella, in addition to his position at the University, is also head of internal medicine at Bellvitge Hospital. This new appointment comes as recognition for his extensive professional experience and commitment to medicine and also demonstrates the influence of the Spanish Society of Internal Medicine in the EFIM.
