Pan American Health Care Exchanges (PAHCE)
                          Theme:  Linking health care needs and technology across the continent

The previous conferences included participants from Asia, Australia, Europe, with majority of the participants from the countries of the Americas, bringing together medical and technical leaders and practitioners  dealing with technology aspects of patient care and linking academia, clinic/hospital, industry/service/vendor sectors.

Scope: An independent forum for emerging medical technologies and innovations in procedures and techniques, equipment and appliances, which brings health care industries together with  medical personnel, engineering and technical professionals, and those engaged in medical information technologies  in the  academia, hospital and clinical settings, and related sectors.

Areas:  Health Care Engineering
                  (Applied biomedical and clinical eng.)
             Medical Information Technologies
                   Medicine (patient care)  

Goal:  to continue "....the most affordable international professional experience and medical technology products access and exposure, in a place (Southern California) with one of the world's highest concentrations of healthcare institutions and industry. A gateway of technology/products transfer to the countries of Pan American continent and the Pacific…." Low registration costs, hotel and transportation in a variety of economic ranges, and social networking functions are available.
