Abstract: The First International Workshop on The Role and Impact of Mathematics in Medicine (RIMM) convened
in Paris in June 2010. A broad range of researchers discussed the difficulties, challenges and opportunities
faced by those wishing to see mathematical methods contribute to improved medical outcomes. Finding
mechanisms for interdisciplinary meetings, developing a common language, staying focused on the medical
problem at hand, deriving realistic mathematical solutions, obtaining high quality data and seeing things through
"by the bedside" are some of the issues discussed by the participants.
