Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
I am an enthusiastic Specialist Doctor in Infectious Disease, with full GMC registration with a license to practice in the United Kingdom. Eager to further my career, I am seeking a role where I can apply my expertise to enhance patient care and demonstrate my capabilities under mentorship. With graduation from the esteemed University of Sao Paulo in 2017 and subsequent specialty training at Hospital das Clinicas, FMUSP, I have a strong foundation in infectious diseases. I completed two rewarding visiting fellowships in the Brazilian Amazon, acquiring valuable experience in the management of tropical diseases and providing medical services to remote riverside dwelling communities in a medical boat facility. I refined my skills during a transformative fellowship role in the Infectious Diseases Department at the Salpêtrière Hospital, in Paris, France, assisting in general ward rounds, HIV care, and COVID-19 management. Committed to patient-centered care and continuous learning, I am ready to contribute effectively to your healthcare team's success. My profile is enriched with robust interpersonal skills, complemented by an additional graduation in International Relations, coupled with my experience at the Instituto Humanitare, in São Paulo, Brazil, an NGO affiliated with the United Nations. In terms of clinical competencies, I excel in various critical procedures and diagnostics. I am adept at performing IV cannulations, venipuncture, arterial blood sampling, lumbar puncture, ascitic tap, pleural tap, nasogastric catheterization, endotracheal intubation, and Foley’s catheterization. I possess expertise in sutures and surgical knots, as well as cutaneous biopsies. My comprehensive skill set and diverse experiences allow me to contribute effectively and holistically to healthcare environments.
