Summary
I am from Colombia and did a general surgery residency at San Rafael Clinic in Bogota (1999 to 2003), affiliated to Nueva Granada Military University. During my years of residency in general surgery, I began in the field of research looking for a greater excellence in the surgical field.
After my residency in General Surgery I became an attending surgeon working in different hospitals and I did multiple presentations at National and International Surgical meeting, especially multiple didactic video presentations of innovations in laparoscopic surgery, getting me more than 10 years of experience in the surgical field.
All these video and teaching presentations opened it for me the huge opportunity to present a poster in the most prestigious laparoscopic Surgical Association in the World, SAGES (Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons) in Las Vegas. Consequently, my work was the winner of a SAGES International Traveling Fellowship Award.
After that I had …the privilege to continue my work at Cleveland Clinic Florida as a Research Fellow with Dr. Raul Rosenthal, one of the most international and world recognized bariatric surgeons. During this period I performed multiples presentations and published several papers about laparoscopic and bariatric surgery. Two years later I got an offer from New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens, affiliated to Weill Cornell Medical College to perform my General Surgery Residency here in the United States.
As recognition of my outstanding research performance and contributions to the surgical field, I was awarded a highly competitive Clinical Fellowship in Bariatric and Minimally Invasive Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic, Weston Florida. Cleveland Clinic is ranked as 4th in the country by U.S. News & World Report's “2014-2015 Best Hospitalsâ€
All of these, including several important awards, videos on SAGES TV, SAGES University and in the Video Library from the American College of Surgeons for educational purpose of other surgeons, are a sample of all the extraordinary research and clinical work that I have done to reach the highest level of excellence in my field.
