Thanks to Dr Carolina Prieto and SMLC for inviting me to the XV Congress SMLC in Santiago Chile. I presented on the evolution of the “Westgard Rules” and QC Frequency. This conference serves as an appetizer for a much larger event to come: ALAPAC ML2020 will be here in Santiago. Visit www.smlc.cl for more details. Mark your calendars.
