Finally, a message from the mentors!

Being able to predict which patient may have a complication is the future of medicine. In this way, harm to patients can be prevented – even before a device or procedure is performed. Your work on the Michigan Risk Score Brazil project will help in ensuring that the MRS performs to protect patients. Thank you for all your hard work to help improve PICC care all over the world.
