Origin:
The LAHRS Young EP group arises from the need of young members of the Latin American electrophysiological community to become visible and manage activities according to the particular interests of the sector. After several internal conversations at LAHRS, the creation of the section is made official at the Society’s General Assembly, in the context of the LAHRS 2023 Congress in Mexico City.
