Overview
Mission
Medical educators for latin america's goal is to provide education in latin america through didactic and practical teaching. Additionally, mela provides patient care and consultation in remote areas of bolivia and donate medical supplies for clinic use.
What it reported doing in 2024
We held our 15th annual acute care continuing medical education conference in november 2024. It was held at mano a mano bolivia in cochabamba, bolivia. The conference was attended by 123 participants made up of physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals. We had 15 presenters of lectures and mall group sessions as well as 10 translators. We also supported the construction of a health care clinic in the community of san antonio, bolivia through grants to mano a mano bolivia. These activities supported the education of local bolivian youth in dental, nursing, and other fields.
