Island CR – The 19th International Congress is taking place at the IGV Hotel in Le CastellaThe Child of the Mediterranean”, an event of great scientific and educational importance. At the same time, the fifth edition of the Clinical Games organized by the Italian Society of Pediatric Emergency Medicine (SIMEUP), which sees the participation of more than one hundred and fifty pediatric specialists from Italian schools.
The event is a unique opportunity for the participants, who are engaging in training and scientific comparison activities through different types of “clinical games” aimed at determining the winning school. The first part of the congress saw the elimination competition with B-LSD, chaired by Professor Gianluigi Marseglia, renowned master of international paediatrics and national president of the directors of specialization schools in Paediatrics. The competition actively involved SIMEUP of Crotone, which made its instructors and advanced teaching material available, including digitized mannequins for computerized cardiac massage performances.
Doctor Brambilla, Extraordinary Commissioner of the ASP of Crotone, and Doctor Lucio Cosentino, Health Director of the Presidio, brought greetings from the Crotone healthcare system. In particular, Doctor Brambilla expressed surprise and admiration for the very large presence of specialists and pediatricians in the Minerva room of the conference center, an uncommon turnout in scientific conferences, particularly at late hours.”
The greeting from the Crotone medical class was brought by president of the provincial medical association Dr. Enrico Ciliberto which underlined how scientific events of a national nature such as “the child of the Mediterranean” can make us think again about the goodness of the Crotone territorial medical activity not only in the provincial and regional healthcare sector but above all at a national level. This type of scientific event ennobles the ancient Crotoniate medical tradition of Alcmeone which badly needs positive stimuli to regain a quality positioning at a national level.
The congress will continue over the next two days with plenary sessions and further clinical competitions, concluding on Saturday afternoon with the proclamation of the winning Italian team. On Sunday, the instructors of SIMEUP they will hold an aquatic lifesaving course in the swimming pool, issuing a special certificate as aquatic lifesaving instructors to the participants.
This congress represents an event of great social and health relevance, confirming itself as an important moment of training and knowledge sharing for paediatrics. Once again, Crotone presents itself as the nerve center of pediatrics in the Mediterranean and for all of Italy, underlining its leadership role in the field of pediatric training.
