MD
“I am an orthopaedic surgeon and I am proud to work every day doing this activity. I work in public and private Health System, being able to combine both styles, understanding that the patient, although the resources are different, is always the same. This combination allows you to grow scientifically and humanly”

PhD
“One of the most important things in the life of any professional is to do what someone is excited about. In my personal experience, developing a Doctoral Thesis has been one of the greatest achievements in my professional career. However, I have tried to direct this effort to what, moreover, could have a clinical application in my daily practice. The magic triangle between the information, the generation of expectations and the final satisfaction of the patient was the objective of my Thesis. The feeling that the investigation and the development of this work produced to me, to present it to a Doctoral Thesis Tribunal and to obtain the maximum qualification (Excellent ‘Cum Laude’), cannot be explained with words. It is definitely one of the most incredible experiences in my life”

University Professor
“If anything can resemble my profession, I think it may be the work of a teacher. I have always been enthusiastic about teaching, transmitting to those who are in formation all that I have learned throughout my life. In the same way, my university facet allows me to keep myself updated in all those subjects on which I teach. A doctor is constantly recycled, if he also has the obligation to transmit his knowledge to his university students in an excellent way, this becomes a perfect combination for a surgeon”

Spanish Knee Society Vice-President
“One of the most important satisfactions throughout my professional career is the recognition by the Community of the work well done. After eight years working for the Spanish Knee Society (SEROD), I get a proposal to occupy the vice-presidency of that society. This means that within two years I will become the president of the Society that has seen me grow up. It is an honour for me, not only to belong a SEROD member, but to be able to represent it all over the world. I am proud of it”

Author & Reviewer
“Everything I do, I need to know why it works. Wondering why you do what you do every day, is something that allows you to advance in your knowledge. When you demonstrate your results and give them an explanation with scientific support, this allows you to deserve the respect of the international scientific community. Publish it in an impact factor journal and also be proposed as a reviewer of several of the journals in which you have published, makes your prestige increase and your personal satisfaction increase”

Meeting Speaker “Transmitting your knowledge in an expert forum is something that forces you to maintain your training and discuss among your colleagues those findings and problems that have arisen in your daily clinical activity. In my opinion, this facet of my profession is a constant stimulus in my scientific progression. The fact that the rest of the community chooses you to be in charge of making a presentation in this type of forums is an honour and a great pleasure”

Product and Research Consultant “My years of experience have made me the reference and consultant of some of the most relevant companies in my field. This allows me to continue researching and developing everything I consider necessary to improve the care for my patients”
