바카라 사리트 history was made on February 11, 2016 when the first annual meeting of the newly established Gulf Chapter of the 바카라 사리트 held its inaugural meeting. The setting for this meeting was the nine-month-old Cleveland Clinic, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), a very impressive 300 plus bed hospital. This first 바카라 사리트 chapter meeting coincided with the "Update in Internal Medicine" at Cleveland Clinic under the able direction of Hussein Saadi, MD, F바카라 사리트, FACE, Chief of the Medical Specialties Institute, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and Clinical Professor of Medicine, Cleveland Clinic and Essam Elsayed, MD, F바카라 사리트, Interim Governor of the 바카라 사리트 Gulf Chapter.
I was honored to deliver the keynote address to begin the meeting: "바카라 사리트 at 100: Promoting Excellence in Internal Medicine" to over 200 attendees. In my talk, I highlighted the 2015 100th anniversary of the College, its many successes over those years and its promising future to remain as one of the world's most admired medical specialty organizations. I congratulated the members of the 바카라 사리트 Gulf Chapter for the establishment of the Chapter and laying the foundation for further growth and expansion in the years ahead. The enthusiasm for the 바카라 사리트 was very strong and gratifying.
The meeting featured a number of impressive faculty not only from the Cleveland Clinic USA and Abu Dhabi, but also included 바카라 사리트 International Ambassador George Smetana, MD, F바카라 사리트, who delivered two lectures on Treatment of Primary Headache Disorders and the Primary Care Treatment of Depression. All in all, it was a superb meeting and inaugural effort of one of the College's more recent chapters in a region of the world with excellent internists, members and Fellows that I look forward to following in the years ahead as it continues to grow and mature.
