Evento Interesante

Apreciados amigos: Hemos recibido esta información por Internet y creemos que pudiera tener interés. Dicen que no sólo de pan vive el hombre, sino también de emoción. No sólo de vía aérea debemos hablar. El concepto de Medicina Perioperatoria es el futuro ahora de la anestesiología. La Cleveland Clinic es un centro de alta reputación y pensamos que se podría encontrar un cúmulo de información interesante. Nuevas formas de plantear eventos, nuevas estrategias para nuestros pacientes, nuevas maneras de enseñar anestesiología. No tenemos nada que ver con la organización, pero suena interesante asistir (Miami es cerca)

Con afecto, Xavier
