Our department offers Short Courses, Workshops, and Conferences with the aim of providing a means for the ongoing education of professionals. In 2016, two hundred (200) CME/PD Credit Hours were offered with the total number of participating health care professionals was two thousand (2000).
Our research accomplishments can be summarized as follows:
Published Research in Peer-Reviewed Journals (see List 1)
Active participation in ten (10) National and International Scientific Programs (Scientific Papers and Posters).
Receiving National and International Prestigious Research Awards (see Table 1)
