Hi
My medical education born in 1988 - 94 in Universitat Autonoma of Barcelona and Hospital de St Pau.
I'm a physician who work hard during last 20 years in Hospital Sta Caterina, (Public Catalan Health Care maybe 40.000 Urg/year and 140 beds) inside of Mental Health Park Martí i Julia (+ 300 beds) in Girona-Catalunya, (Spain).
In the other way, I like my past Family Medicin/GP practice during two years in the public health system but the emergency in a hospital with a promise of growth is the most valuable for me and fynally decided for the emergency.
My personal development and my expertise areas are in a globality of emergency department but my personal interrestis focalitzet in COPD and Pain contro manaegement in emergency department .
