“Today we know that all pathologies must be treated individually, studying case by case, with a multifactorial approach, because from there we work on assertiveness, using resources and knowledge and this is an aspect that doctors in Costa Rica are very clear and which is why we want to continue sharing knowledge between doctors in both countries,” explained Dr. Barcie.
“My hope is that these physicians who participated form friendships and can form alliances and know that physicians in Costa Rica can count on the support of professionals at the University of Chicago, Medicine,” concluded Dr. Barcie.
