Our MEI team will have a two-fold opportunity in Kosovo. First, we’ve been asked to bring pediatric subspecialty expertise to colleagues at the Sheikha Fatima Children’s hospital in the capital of Pristina. Pediatric critical care, cardiac electrophysiology and autism management will be featured educational opportunities. In addition, we hope to bring internal medicine clinical, diagnostic and management reasoning case-based teaching to 2 small cities a few hours from Pristina. Local church leaders are looking forward to our visit to encourage their ministries as well.
