The International Center for Professional Development (ICPD) is cognizant of its duty to honor those who made substantial contributions to advancement of healthcare and medical education in Armenia. The ICPD is proud to be the organizer of the 2nd Professor Edgar Housepian Clinical Neuroscience Symposium on Pediatric Neurosurgery.
Professor Edgar Housepian was an internationally-renowned neurosurgeon at New York’s Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, whose daily activity was oriented to the creation for the sake of a human being, the community and the Country. He led the launch of still operating multiple Continuous Medical Education Programs designed for medical personnel of Armenia and Artsakh. His inexhaustible dedication and open-mindedness very much contributed to improvement of the health care system of Armenia.
With advances in healthcare and improved survival from communicable disease in pediatric population especially in low- and mid-income countries, there is an increased need for neurosurgical procedures. Despite the influx of knowledge and equipment from diaspora which resulted in improvements in pediatric neurosurgery in post-Soviet Armenia, there is still a need for continuous learning to be able to reach comparable levels of advanced health care systems.
This symposium will create an opportunity for pediatric perioperative neurosurgical specialists in Armenia, to meet their peers from well-known neurosurgical centers in USA and Europe virtually, exchange ideas, and share experience discussing new technologies and techniques.
This symposium provides focused, comprehensive knowledge to neurosurgeons with a specific interest in pediatric, stereotactic and functional neurosurgery.
