It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us at the “3rd World Congress on Ultrasound in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine”, which will take place in Paris, France on May 9 - 11, 2007.
For the third time, an international conference will gather leading experts, lecturers, investigators, and participants focusing on the key issues of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound. Moreover, the international assembly of academic and health care professionals promoting the congress is increasingly growing and receiving appraisals; thus far, it represents the core of the 1st Worldwide Interactive Network Focused On Critical UltraSound: WINFOCUS.
The Scientific Program and Research Forum will be innovative and dynamic, developed along a clinical and problem-based schedule, and representing the best and most updated discussions and international recommendations/guidelines on Emergency Point-of-care Ultrasound science and practice. Leading authorities and researchers will address sonography advances on the assessment and management of severely ill and injured patients, both in pre-hospital and intra-hospital critical care.
You can still register on site upon arrival at the WELCOME DESK.
During the Congress and the preceding day, we will be offering exciting educational sessions and workshops to help to introduce you or sharpen your skills in Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound (see underneath).
Bring your own experiences, scientific expertise, commitment, and energy to emergency and critical care ultrasound – this will be the key to success of our meeting.
We look forward to welcoming you to Paris in May 2007!
Yours sincerely,
Michael BLAIVAS, Yi Hong Chou, Luca NERI, Tomislav PETROVIC
