Health Services Management
RESUME
Professional
info
I am a Bariatric Surgeon and University Instructor with more than 15 years of experience in my country. I have worked both in public and private areas. In the constant search to improve access to health for all, I have helped in university curricular changes such as in the Department of Surgery at the Central University of Venezuela. In addition, I organized the Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery Unit of the Surgery Service II of the University Hospital of Caracas where I have taught courses for surgeons at a national and international level. In a world where resources are decreasing and the demands for services are increasing, I have decided to venture into the field of health services management in order to help offer a more accessible, equitable, sustainable and effective health system.
