Family Doctor
QUITO
Summary
I am a family doctor and have been a university lecturer for 26 years, teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. I should mention that educating adults is one of my strengths, as is educational management, which is inherent to the former. Medical consultations with a focus on primary care are another skill that is less important, but no less significant to me, which I also practise with great pleasure and satisfaction.
