Brief Intro

I am originally from Bogota, Colombia, I have been in working in psychiatry for the past 17 years and I love it. Ever since I was a child, I wanted to be a physician. I knew psychiatry was my call after my practice as a primary care physician and I realized how much of helping patients achieve wellness had to do with listening to their concerns. I tried to understand not only the physical problems they faced, but to understand their particular biopsychosocial situation. I understood my mission as a care provider was not simply to cure, but to always help people find hope. / Yo nacA­ en BogotA?, Colombia.Tengo cerca de 17 aAos trabajando en el A?rea de PsiquiatrA­a y me fascina. Desde niAa quize estudiar Medicina, y fue despuAs de trabajar como mAdico general que decidA­ dedicarme a esta especialidad. Me di cuenta que sin un entendimiento bio-psico-social del ser humano es muy dificil realmente ayudar a alguien a mejorarse, y entendA­ que mi misiAln como mAdico no es siempre curar pero siempre poder brindar ESPERANZA.
