Professor Jacques Marescaux recently visited IRCAD America Latina in Barretos, Brazil, to participate in the HBP course.
The visit provided a key opportunity to reconnect with the teams, review ongoing projects, and further strengthen the essential ties with this institute, which has been a vital part of the IRCAD network for many years.
Next year will mark the 15th anniversary of this highly successful collaboration, a milestone founded on shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and partnership.
We sincerely thank Dr. Luis Romagnolo, Dr. Armando Melani, and all the Barretos teams for their remarkable organization and hospitality. Gratitude is also extended to Professor Nicolas Demartines for coordinating this excellent course.
Please note that the IRCAD administrative board and staff are closely monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation, in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in France. The health, safety, and well-being of our participants, experts and staff are our top priority!
Despite the current context, the IRCAD stands firmly by your side to help you acquire knowledge and skills. Come and join us !
We would like to draw your attention that the « Vaccine Pass » is now mandatory in France since end of January 2022 and replaces the former « Health Pass » to access places that are open to the public, such as cinemas, museums, cafés and restaurants, hotels as well as the IRCAD Institute which welcomes participants in the framework of its courses and seminars. Thus, a PCR test without vaccination is no longer sufficient to take part in our courses.
The vaccine pass includes a proof of the following (one of the 3 items is sufficient):
Further information about the new vaccine pass can be found at :
We very much hope to be able to count on your kind understanding of those rules which have been set by the French Government and which our Institute is required to apply
