What I'm looking for

I’m looking to return to an acute hospital environment and build on my clinical experience within the Irish healthcare system, applying my physical medicine/rehab and internal medicine background to support patients with complex, multi-comorbid needs.

I’m a Medical Doctor specialized in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, with over ten years of hospital-based clinical experience across inpatient rehab and acute on-call care. I assess and manage patients through acute, subacute, and chronic phases, with a strong focus on complex cases and multiple comorbidities.

My specialty training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation underpins how I build rehabilitation plans: I conduct functional assessments, direct rehabilitation programmes within multidisciplinary teams, and coordinate discharge planning and follow-up. I also provide ultrasound-guided joint and soft tissue injections to support musculoskeletal and neurological recovery.

Professionally, I’ve worked across three different healthcare systems, moving between Argentina, Italy, and Spain to complete registration steps and continue clinical development. I’m currently preparing for PRES 3 after passing PRES 2, with IMC general registration in progress, and I’m actively updating my clinical knowledge while preparing for the next stage.

I’m looking to return to an acute hospital environment and build on my clinical experience within the Irish healthcare system. I bring calm, independent clinical decision-making, strong interdisciplinary collaboration, and a practical focus on patient goals, progress, and safe transitions of care.
