Organized by Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in partnership with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, LACRE is the Latin American edition of the renowned International Conference on Residency Education (ICRE).
Although its origins are rooted in postgraduate medical training, LACRE is now a cross-cutting, interprofessional forum that brings together educators, leaders, faculty, residents, and students from across the health professions.
LACRE seeks to connect those who share a commitment to transforming health education by fostering the exchange of experiences, educational innovation, academic excellence, and collaboration among professionals throughout Latin America.
