Dr. Renato Varela, Founder of the Symposium and Director of the UACH Emergency medicine Program, emphasized the importance of hosting a high-caliber event outside of Santiago. “We wanted to take advantage of the city of Valdivia to attract national urgenciologists… showing that outside Santiago you can also organize high-level meetings,” he stated. “It is indeed an instance to update, know experiences from other more advanced places and learn from them.”
SIMUV will cover a range of critical topics including resuscitation and critical airway management, time-sensitive emergencies, advancements in emergency service technology and procedures, damage control resuscitation, public health considerations, trauma surgeon decision-making, penetrating trauma, and the future of trauma care.
