The first issue of the official publication of the Hispanic American College of Physicians and Surgeons, Medicina y Cultura, features Spanish translations of three items from AAPS: the Oath of Hippocrates, a news of the day item on selective abortions, and one on estimated retiree medical expenses. (“Juramento de Hipócrates,” “Abortos selectivos por sexo ya se están practicando en los Estados Unidos,” and “Se estima que los retirados necesitarán $225,000 por pareja para gastos médicos.”)
Other articles concern historical events in Latin America; cosmetic procedures; the prevention of hip fractures; the scientific contributions of Sir William Harvey; and enjoyment of life at age 100.
Headquartered in Miami, the Hispanic American College of Physicians and Surgeons was founded in July 2008. Its founders practice many different specialties, and profess dedication to the ethical practice of medicine and the Oath of Hippocrates.
Membership services include reduced rates for document translation into Spanish.
Medicina y Cultura is currently available only in printed format.
