Assistant Professor Andrea Mulholland and Assistant Professor Yamnia Cortés traveled to Manta, Ecuador, on August 19 through 24 to teach a course to 41 nurses at the Urgent Care: Cuidados de Emergencia continuing education conference.
The three-day conference was supported by colleagues at the University San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), and the General Public Health System (Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social).
