@haroldohidalgo
I'm a physician and surgeon with postgraduate training in general surgery and hospital care.
What I'm looking for
I've trained in General Surgery at Hospital Roosevelt and delivered hospital-based care through clinical discipline, critical thinking, and a commitment to safe, current patient care.
My experience includes pregraduate internships at Hospital Regional del IGSS and Hospital Regional de Occidente, plus rural medical service in Aldea Santa Rita. I've rotated through Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics and Gynecology, and continue building surgical and trauma-care skills through ultrasound, hernioplasty, tracheostomy, and trauma training.
