CBR – As our partner in this event, what is the importance of partnerships like this one for SIBIM?
doctor Melcior – SIBIM, as an Ibero-American Society, is always interested in creating synergies with all Radiology associations in America. It is a great opportunity and one more step in its vocation to be a forum for all radiologists dedicated to the diagnosis of breast diseases. It is, after all, an honor and also a challenge.
CBR – Does SIBIM frequently make alliances with entities from different countries?
doctor Melcior – Yes. We hold specific events, but we consider it of great value to participate and contribute to national congresses, as we are a spokesperson for a very important subspecialty of Radiology. Our interest is to add importance.
CBR – What are your expectations for this event?
doctor Melcior – Brazil is very large and its professional and human capital is of the highest importance. Our presence at the event not only consolidates professional collaboration bridges, but also a superior concept of collaboration and participation in training actions. Working together, we learn together – this makes us professionally more capable. We are convinced that this will be a great Congress.
CBR – What will the congressman gain from this partnership?
doctor Melcior – He will get to know the latest trends, share knowledge with colleagues and have the opportunity to learn a lot about the “state of the art” in breast cancer diagnosis. In addition, it will participate in educational initiatives that go beyond the Congress, including the development of educational materials for distribution among Latin American radiologists. Most importantly, together we will always make things better, and our patients will benefit from our ability to share and unify criteria.
CBR – How do you evaluate the Breast Radiology practiced in Brazil?
