Teaching

Teaching is the other half of clinical practice.

I have coordinated the nephrology medical residency since 2009 and founded the internal medicine residency in 2014, both at Santa Casa de Londrina. What you learn preparing the next physician is different from what you learn treating the next patient — and the two reinforce each other.

  • Since 2009

    Coordinator of the Nephrology Medical Residency

    Santa Casa de Londrina (ISCAL)

    Responsible for residency training in nephrology — program accredited by CNRM/MEC, integrating clinical curriculum, in-hospital hemodialysis and supervision of inpatient consultations. ISCAL currently offers 14 medical residency programs.

  • Founder (2014)

    Internal Medicine Residency

    Santa Casa de Londrina (ISCAL)

    I designed and implemented the institution's internal medicine residency program in 2014 — because without solid general clinical training there is no specialization worth pursuing.

  • 2013 – 2014

    Professor of Semiology and Introduction to Medical Practice · Mentor of the Semiology Academic League

    PUC Londrina

    I taught Semiology and Introduction to Medical Practice to undergraduates in medicine, and mentored the Semiology Academic League. Training future physicians with emphasis on clinical reasoning and integrated reading of lab results.

Teaching philosophy

The good resident learns to read the patient before reading the exam. The good residency program teaches doubt of the "normal" — to see the interval between what's within range and what sustains the individual's longevity ahead.

What I try to convey is simple: structured clinical rigor is compatible — and necessary — with precision preventive medicine. They are not two worlds. They are the same medicine, at different moments in a person's timeline.
