The primary aim is to promote education on the diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of Primary Immunodeficiencies (PIDs), giving special attention to clinical cases and particularities in the Latin American Environment. Secondary aims are to attract and develop future scientists in academic medicine and to enhance the awareness of clinical immunology and its importance in scientific discoveries and clinical applications. As well the program should also reinforce ongoing collaborations among faculty members and stimulate future collaborations between young investigators in different medical centers and countries, and between young investigators and experienced physician/scientists in the field. The content of the program will cover the principal and most prevalent PIDs in Latin America. The clinical cases will be selected based on the submissions of the candidates. The structure of the event includes:1)18 Modules of 1 hour. Each module includes two clinical PIDs cases presentation by fellows followed by a general discussion of the audience and a didactic presentation on specific topics made by a faculty member.2) One Module of 4 hours for education in molecular diagnosis and bioinformatics in PIDs, followed by a discussion on establishing a network for collaborative work on molecular diagnosis and bioinformatics in Latin America.3)One Module of 4 hours for training how to register patients in the on-line LASID Registry data basis, followed by a discussion on proposals about multicenter clinical epidemiological studies in Latin America.The cases and presentations will be previously selected and revised by faculty members.
