Welcome Speech

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that the 35th Weekend Course in Cardiology also known as WECOC, will be back to be fully offline this year. WECOC is a routine scientific meeting of the continuing medical education (CME) held by the Department of Cardiology and Vascular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia. As the oldest cardiology scientific meeting in Indonesia, WECOC was first held in 1989 and continued annually afterward. We are proud to say that WECOC has been providing more than 800 participants each year, consisting of cardiologists, other specialists, general practitioners, cardiology residents, and medical students all over Indonesia with the latest science and technology updates dealing with daily cardiovascular practice.

As we all know the pandemic that happened these past 3 years has challenged us in many aspects, including limiting our interactions. Now that we are back into offline meeting, we hope that all of you can optimally experience and learn the best practices from the best cardiologists, surely with safety protocol measures. Limitations in some medical treatments are probably one of the biggest issues besides our effort to fight againts this global pandemic. This background has brought us to entitle our 35th WECOC with the theme Adaptable Cardiovascular Services Amidst Ongoing Limited Circumstances.

We are looking forward to offer you a more vibrant scientific session with opportunities to reflect and connect over the state-of-the-art innovation of cardiovascular medicine which has been set as WECOC standard all these years. The offline conference will include our regular symposiums and workshops dedicated to serve your yearning for updates on cardiovascular medicine, completed with forums to discuss your interesting cases and present your groundbreaking abstracts.

Mark your calendar and be ready to join us in the middle of October 2023. We believe that this event will stimulate creative exchange of ideas and provide you with the opportunity to widen connections and relationships.

Welcome to the fully offline conference of the 35th WECOC 2023.
