Testimonials
Tomislav Mihaljević, MD
President & CEO Cleveland Clinic
“I invite all graduates of medical schools in Croatia, physicians and scientists, to support CROMed-USA.
This organization offers all of us who were trained in Croatia a unique platform to support medical education and clinical training at our alma maters. An exceptional medical education is an essential component for delivering exceptional medical care.
Together we can contribute far more than any one of us can contribute alone, and we all benefit from such exchanges.
“We organized CROMed-USA to help our Croatian colleagues improve their medical practice.
We believe that acting together through a strong organization like CROMed-USA we can achieve much more than each one of us could have accomplished individually.
Join CROMed-USA and do something great for your native country.”

“The most valuable thing I’ve learned at this workshop was to be curious and to be open-minded to new connections and new people. This workshop changed how I think about clinical reasoning and about patients in a way that I’ve learned to be more critical and to be more direct when making my working diagnosis and to direct my clinical testing towards that diagnosis, but also not to exclude other possible differentials.”

“The thing I liked the most was the amount of time the lecturers spent to prepare for their lectures and the amount of passion they put into educating us. That is really important, because it puts our heart on fire and gives us a lot of motivation to move on.”
