It is a unique experience of its kind in Cuba, at the level of the medicine practiced in developed countries. So this course is registered with the scientific endorsement of this society itself, as part of the programs of Continuing Medical Education and Educational Ambassadors of the aforementioned scientific society.

Prior to the start of the event, lectures were held in a theoretical and face-to-face manner and online through Google Meet, with the participation of renowned professors from Mexico and Ecuador.

In this sense, Dr. Juan Cristóbal Santacruz Mancheno, Interventional Nephrologist in the city of Quito, Ecuador, who traveled to Cuba as an Educational Ambassador, was incorporated as a tutor in the training.

Due to the impact achieved by this event, we are working on the projection of subsequent editions.
