“I WOULD ADVISE MY FELLOW OPHTHALMOLOGISTS TO STUDY AT THE FERNÁNDEZ-VEGA UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE.”
A third-year resident ophthalmologist at the University of Antioquia, Medellin (Colombia), Yissel has taken the course “Expert in Ocular Immunology and Uveitis” at the Fernández-Vega University Institute, University of Oviedo.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THIS COURSE WITH US?
Because I wanted to learn more in the subject area of ophthalmology and ocular inflammation directed by Dr. Jesus Merayo, whom I met on the La Foscal course, a clinic in Bucaramanga (Colombia), where the doctor was giving talks about uveitis, and his lecture seemed so interesting that I decided to come here to learn from him all about this specialisation.
HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE?
It has been very gratifying because I have learned a lot, since I have been working hand in hand with Dr. Merayo and I have seen many patients with him in consultation m who had uveitis. I have been able to examine them and learn from the doctor how to make a diagnosis and define the most appropriate treatment for the patient.
AFTER COMPLETING THIS COURSE, ARE YOU GOING TO SPECIALIZE IN EYE AND EYE INFLAMMATION?
Yes, because I had already thought that when I finished the MIR or Residence I wanted to specialize in this area of ophthalmology, but when taking this course here, I have confirmed that I really like to define the diagnosis of these patients who present uveitis or other inflammation, and above all help them in their treatment so that they improve.
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS COURSE TO YOUR OPHTHALMOLOGICAL COLLEAGUES?
