Testimonials

OMI-MEX SEMINAR: Maternal and Infant Health

November 26th - 28th, 2023

Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez

Diana Miriam Barrios Bautista

Dr. Flemmer's lecture on neonatal transition at birth was remarkable. The way they resuscitate their premature new-borns by the mother's side is definitely something that could be implemented in Mexico.
OMI-MEX SEMINAR: Pediatric Gastroenterology

June 12th - 14th, 2023

Centro Médico ABC, Santa Fe

Fernanda Monge Urrea

During coffee break, I was able to give Dr. Piccoli a tour of the pediatric ward and the emergency department. Over lunch, we continued our conversation, and he shared anecdotes about his career and how he became a renowned Alagille syndrome expert. His dedication and passion are truly inspiring.
OMI-MEX SEMINAR: Pediatric Gastroenterology

June 12th - 14th, 2023

Instituto Nacional de Pediatría

Carolina Alexandra Zambrano

During lunch, I had the chance to talk to Dr. Liacouras. I was wondering why in Mexico there are few cases of eosinophilic esophagitis, while in my country, Colombia, we see more cases. I discussed with him the probability of a protective effect of capsaicin, one of the principal components of spicy food.

OMI-MEX SEMINAR: Pediatric Emergency

April 24th - 26th, 2023

Instituto Nacional de Pediatría

Edgar Nicolás Vázquez

I am so grateful for the lecture about the young febrile infant because it revealed a lot of new information for me! It is a topic that concerns me, and I felt a huge gap in both my information and integration of data to my practice. Before this lecture I always felt unsure about what to do next, but now I am confident in what I learned from Dr. Scarfone.
OMI-MEX SEMINAR: Pediatric Emergency

April 24th - 26th, 2023

The most exciting part of the seminar was the simulation training with real patient scenarios. This made me feel like I was in an emergency room, but I was able to think clearly with the support of a competitive team. I learned that part of a patients' satisfactory prognosis is teamwork.
