Background
I am a Mexican MD graduate and finished my training at the University of Veracruz, Mexico. Since I was in medical school I became interested and involved in public health research specifically in sexually transmitted diseases and HIV. After graduating I started working in the healthcare setting in which I realized the abuse of antimicrobials is becoming a major problem not only in my country but worldwide. It is very worrying to see, how patients die because they have bacterial infections that are resistant to all source of antibiotics. Besides, with the current situation with COVID-19, I became interested with the neurological sequels SARS-CoV2 has in the human, that is why I have recently published a paper in the Elsevier Neurology Journal called: Associated posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) to SARS-CoV-2. Case Report. I am currently pursuing the MSc in Antimicrobial Resistance because one of my future career goals is to work along with the World Health Organization in the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS) and help implement and improve this program in undeveloped countries like mine. |
