Emergency Medicine in Argentina is here! What happened to the group of friends (an intensivist, internist, cardiologist, and a nephrologist who directed a successful ambulance service) who drank espresso at a sidewalk cafe in Buenos Aires 7 years ago? The fire that began emergency medicine in Argentina. The organization that was created became the Sociedad Argentina de Emergencias (the Argentine Society of Emergency Medicine), now boasting a few thousand members! Every two years, they host an outstanding international conference in emergency, which have been the largest conferences in emergency medicine in Latin America. In 2006, several English speakers from the august bodies of ACEP and AAEM held a parallel English emergency medicine conference. This year, ACEP has partnered with the Sociedad Argentina de Emergencias to host a phenomenal educational event. Participants from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil and Chile will join our Argentine friends in this momentous occasion. Friends from England, Australia, France, Spain, Sweden, Israel, India and China will join in the festivities. The conference will take place June 11-13, 2008 in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires. Besides, where else can you sip coffee and tango? Not at Starbucks USA! More information is on http://www.acep.org/meetings.aspx?id=22384 and http://www.cime2.com.ar
