Monthly Featured Lecture
This month, we’re featuring the story of Dr. Roberto Canessa, a renowned pediatric cardiologist and a survivor of the notorious 1972 Uruguayan airplane crash. Dr. Canessa was one of 45 rugby players who endured extreme conditions and injury after their plane crashed in the Andes. He has made history as one of the men who walked eleven days and climbed 15,000 feet to locate help for the survivors. His journey through the Chilean snowcapped Andes Cordillera rescued 14 of his friends still trapped in the mountains, and inspired his career in saving the lives of pediatric patients.
Open-Access Medical Education
Many lectures found in CHOP OPEN are prepared by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia staff in weeklong modules that are prepared in affiliation with the American Austrian Foundation Open Medical Institute and presented in Salzburg, Austria. CHOP Open-access Medical Education is supported in part by a generous grant from the Leir Foundation.
Please note that some courses presented here have been tailored for their audience in Salzburg, and they may contain stats and information not applicable to all demographics.
