In 2018, the Neurocritical Care Society
has several successful international
collaborations. Dr. Shaheen Shaikh
directed an ENLS course at the 19th
Annual Conference of the Indian Society
of Neuroanesthesia and Critical Care in
Mumbai, India. Course faculty included:
Michel Torbey, Abhijit Lele, Richard Moser
and Letha Mathews. The course was well
attended and was a success by all metrics thanks to the efforts
of Dr. Shaikh and our ISNACC leadership.
Five years after our first joint DGNI meeting in Manheim, we
returned to Wurzburg, Germany, for our second joint meeting.
This was an opportunity to exchange ideas and discussions with
our German Colleagues on several neurocritical care topics ranging
from prognostication to education and research. Mary Kay Bader
also led the first ENLS course in Germany. We had more than 50 in
attendance. Course faculty included Gretchen Brophy, Jose Suarez,
Michel Torbey, Susanne Muehlschlegel and Katja Wartenberg.
Please mark your calendar for the 14th International Pan Arab
Critical Care Medicine Socity Conference April 5-7, 2018, in Dubai
