Sub Regional Training Ecuador 2016
Dear Americas Region, it is full of motivation and excitement that AEMPPI Ecuador has the pleasure to invite you all to be part of the Sub Regional Training Ecuador 2016. We are aware that capacity building is one of the most important bases of our Federation, so we saw hosting this event as an opportunity to provide a source of trainings to our beloved region and being more involved in the IFMSA by bringing people from all over the Americas to this paradise called Ecuador.
