In this space, thirteen speech therapists who work in basic, intermediate and intensive care services in hospitals in the cities of Bogotá, Barranquilla, Popayán and Medellín participated; as well as teachers and program directors of this important area of ​​training in the country with expertise in this field.

The space was led by María Cano’s professor, Andrés Fernando Delprado Aguirre, the internship coordinator Natalía Hernández and the Program Director. Belkis Lorena Torres Osorio, as part of the feasibility study of the Specialization program in Speech Therapy in Critical Care.
