Our flowers, from our heart for HEART 2019 Access granted edition
One week ago, we were celebrating together the last steps of our journey at HEART 2019 Conference.
Today, we would like to thank those who wrote part of these chapters: our dear speakers, for changing our perspective and understanding of our profession and also for opening our minds for innovation: Carmen Uscatu & Oana Gheorghiu, Dina Zielinski, Olga Rostkowska, Nina Tunariu, Vlad Voiculescu , Oisin Scollard, Silviu Matu, Walter Karlen, Daniel Ahmed, Radu Orghidan, and finally our special guest who joined us via live transmission, Gernot Groemer. We were all delighted to have you with us and we are glad you are now part of our HEART community.
We would like to thank you, our enthusiastic participants who attended the event at Aula Iuliu Hațieganu, as well as the ones from the University of Western Brittany and University Jean Jaures Toulouse who joined us through the live streaming page. It was a joy to have the opportunity to build the “Access granted” collective story with all of you.
We are grateful for the support of Cluj-Napoca City Hall, thanking the presence of Mr. Emil Boc, Mayor of Cluj-Napoca at our conference as well as the support of our University, Universitatea de Medicină și Farmacie „Iuliu Hațieganu” din Cluj-Napoca represented by Prof. Vice Rector Silviu Albu and Prof. Vice Dean Daniel Mureșan.
Students of our medical students’ organization represented by our colleague Alexandru Sirbu have been provided with an environment where we can create our own path. But in this, we are grateful to have some incredible mentors by our side. HEART Academic Advisor Dr. Catana Andreea and HEART Ambassador Philip Choban have been supporting us in all our endeavors and believing in our initiatives, encouraging us to take responsibility for our own education.
We would like to thank our mentors for the interactive workshops and extra-sessions that gave us an insight into different domains of medicine and technology and the possibility to put some of our ideas into practice: Andreea Cătană MD PhD, Entrp. PhilCar ChoAlm, Bogdan Florea MD, Codrin Rebeleanu MD PhD, Razvan Chereches MD PhD, Marius Ungureanu MD PhD, Sebastian Armean MD PhD, Cristian Erdei MD, Marius Farcas MD, Tania Crișan MD PhD, Maria Stratan MD, Maria Miclăuș MD, Sergiu Osan, Constantin Ionuț Coroamă, Andrei Abrudan MD.
Ruxandra Diana Dragolea, our dear host, granted us an overall view of this year’s vision, speeches and all the other surprises we had prepared and our dear colleagues Crina Carpiuc Andreea Iordache, Emilia Mogoșan and Mădălina Lazăr inspired us with their Pecha Kucha presentations on teamwork and dealing with failure, encouraging us to take initiative.
We hope our conference can act for change when it comes to human habit. To this purpose, we used our HEART refillable bottles during the conference’s coffee breaks, biodegradable knives, forks and plates for lunch from our partners Biotrem România and we adopted a recycling programme of the plastic bottles, cardboard and paper, with the help our our colleagues from EcoCampus - OSM Cluj.
Last but not least, we are very grateful to our sponsors for helping us spread the access: Centrul Ortodontic Cluj, Laitek Romania, Macadamian Romania, Artis 3 Clinica OCULENS Cluj-Napoca, Radusan, Ofta Review, Clinica Veterinara Dyor, Power Belt Romania, GrupWest, SC SMZ IMPEX, Automatic Control, Panemar, New Croco, Rozoti Spedition, Adris, Tovani, Kueryo Steel, Turnatoria Iberica, Infinity Flowers & Gifts Cluj, Copy Center V Babes.
