Urgencia UC: Conceptos 2017
My friends in Chile are at it again, Urgencia UC: Conceptos 2017 is rapidly approaching.
This is a cutting edge emergency medicine conference featuring internationally recognised luminaries as well as an exciting bunch of local speakers.
It will be great if you’ve got some Spanish to work with but all the talks will be simultaneously translated into English/ Spanish (depending on what language the talk is being given in).
I went out there as a speaker last year (apologies again for the accent… I’m sure the translators are still having nightmares!) — it was a great experience, with talks of the highest quality, and the friendliest people you will ever meet! I only wish I got to see more of the amazing country that is Chile…
