The 10th Annual International Medical Conference in Memory of Dr Alan Gabster: Online Tropical Medicine Course September-December 2020

Due to social distancing guidelines, our annual in-person medical conference, usually in Santiago, Panama, became an online international tropical medicine course. Change can be helpful and allow great enhancements to the Conference. We were lucky to have 38 speakers from Latin America and the United States, with more than 2500 participants from 22 countries. In terms of attendance and reach, it was the most successful Conference to date. We were joined in collaboration with The Gorgas Memorial Institute of Health Studies in Panama, The American College of Physicians Central America Chapter, the Latin-American Pediatric Infectious Disease Society, The Pan-American Association of Infectious Disease, Panama´s Society of Infectious Disease, and the National Research System of SENACYT, Panama
