Doctor of Medicine (Erasmus Exchange Program)

Universitatea Ovidius din Constanța, Romania | September 2021 - June 2022

• International clinical exposure and cross‑cultural patient care in English‑language medical instruction.

Clinical Experience

Complejo Hospitalario Universitario Insular Materno Infantil de Gran Canaria | September 2023 - June 2024

• Integrated clinical rotations within a high‑volume public tertiary hospital.

Primary Care / Family Medicine (3 months)

• Evaluated 10–15 patients daily in outpatient setting.

• Managed chronic and acute conditions including hypertension, diabetes mellitus (type 1 and 2), metabolic syndrome, obesity, dyslipidemia, gout, musculoskeletal pain, migraines, hemorrhoids, mild urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, COVID‑19, influenza, and occupational health consultations.

• Performed blood extractions, full physical examinations, ECG acquisition and interpretation, and clinical documentation.

• Conducted follow‑up visits, treatment renewals, and preventive care.

Emergency Medicine – Adult ER (3 months)

• Evaluated and managed 5–10 patients per shift under supervision, presenting with acute and complex conditions, including acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, heart failure, angina, trauma (motor vehicle accidents, assaults, falls, animal bites), intoxications (lithium, opioids, cocaine), suicidal attempts, renal colic, pleural effusion, COVID‑19, dyspnea, and gastrointestinal pathology.

• Performed patient history taking, physical examinations, and formulation of differential diagnoses.

• Performed basic procedures: superficial wound suturing, wound cleaning, digital rectal examination, leg casting.

• Observed and assisted in procedures including urinary catheterization, thoracentesis, knee arthrocentesis, echocardiography, and PCR testing.

• Participated in multidisciplinary emergency care and clinical decision‑making.

Pediatrics (1 month)

• Assessed pediatric patients with COVID‑19, influenza A, RSV, tuberculosis, otitis media, food allergies, roseola, hand‑foot‑mouth disease, viral gastroenteritis, and conjunctivitis.

• Participated in acute pediatric assessment and family counseling.

• Observed diagnostic evaluation and management of congenital heart disease, including patent ductus arteriosus and congenital arrhythmias.

Obstetrics & Gynecology (1 month)

• Participated in pregnancy management across all trimesters, including routine monitoring, ultrasound exposure, and prenatal testing.

• Assisted in care of high‑risk pregnancies (gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders).

• Gained exposure to artificial insemination planning, contraceptive counseling and implant placement, management of spontaneous and induced abortion, vaginosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, and non‑surgical breast cancer management.

Plastic Surgery (1 month)

• Gained extensive operating room exposure, primarily assisting in surgical workflow and instrumentation.

• Observed and assisted in procedures including excision of skin lesions, skin cancer removal, ulcer debridement in immobilized patients, and breast cancer surgery with reconstructive techniques.

• Assisted in suturing of superficial wounds and perioperative patient management.

Technical Skills

• Patient history taking and comprehensive physical examination.

• Differential diagnosis and clinical reasoning.

• Basic procedural skills: wound suturing, casting, blood extraction, ECG interpretation.

• Acute care exposure and emergency triage principles.

• Operating room assistance and surgical instrumentation handling.

• Clinical documentation and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Research

Medical Degree Final Thesis (TFG)

• Title: Experimental Evaluation of Dehydration and Rehydration Methods in Formalin‑Fixed Tissues for Anatomical Studies.

• Experimental study evaluating alternative dehydration (96% ethanol, sodium chloride, refrigeration) and rehydration techniques (distilled water, tris‑buffered saline) in animal and human tissues preserved with formaldehyde or ethanol‑acetic acid‑glycerin solutions. Demonstrated superior preservation of tissue morphology, translucency, and volume recovery using 96% ethanol dehydration followed by TBS rehydration, particularly in small intestine and fetal limb samples. Findings support reduction of formaldehyde reliance in anatomical specimen preservation.
