I was recently invited to present at the Ecuador “Asomicrae” Microtia Atresia conference. The goal of this conference was to educate families about Microtia, Atresia and treatment options available. While we have hosted two Microtia Atresia conferences in Ecuador already, I actually presented remotely for this conference. It worked out wonderfully!
The mission of our non-profit Earicles is to help children through Education, Advocacy, Research and Surgery (EARS). It is always an honor to be given the opportunity to educate families about this rare birth defect.
Special thanks to Carlos Jacome and his family, to the other speakers at the conference, and to all of the Ecuadorans in attendance. What a special treat to see so many of my patients there!!
