November 27th 2017
The Conference for the Nurses have always been interactive, fun and yet informative. This year the nurses had much more in store. Two nurses from the Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Tranplant Center (MCVTC) were also included in the education programs. The motive behind which was to inform the participants and the experts from the University of Colorado on the methods/techniques used/prevalent in their hospital setting. This too paved way for our national nurses to build confidence while also showcasing their applications.
