@afoca13 Yo soy de la Vargas, los detalles de por qué hay más con honores en la Razzeti los dejo a criterio personal. Para nosotros el nivel de exigencia fue bastante alto y la educación de calidad! Somos 302 Médicos Cirujanos graduados de la MEJOR universidad del país a su servicio.

Today is the World Arepa Day 🇻🇪🫓 and 7.7M Venezuelans can't return to their homeland. The photo was sent to me from St. Louis, MO. Places like this are popping everywhere, serving as testament to a community eager to integrate and share the joy that defines us.

These past couple of days have been an incredible learning experience. - Struggle is sometimes the best teacher.- It requires a ton (more than one can think) of self-awareness and teamwork to achieve something. - Kindness and Humility can have an incredible effect on others.

Tied with Ukraine, Venezuelans represent the largest migrant and refugee crisis in the world. No need of war, just a criminal government. Despite all the grief, the resilience that my people are showing to have makes me proud 🇻🇪.
Llegó el tweet que nunca quise hacer. He culminado consultas con las plataformas de repuesta de Naciones Unidas para Siria y Ucrania. Oficial:. Venezuela es la crisis de migrantes y refugiados más grande del mundo (6.8 millones), empatando a Ucrania y superando a Siria (6.6M).

Conclusions and reflections:. 1⃣ AI has the potential to improve patient outcomes and bridge disparities. 2⃣I see AI as a tool to enhance my job, not replace it. 3⃣It's our role to learn how to use these tools to make patient care more efficient, humane, and accessible. 8/.

Mi abuelo fue un hombre de pocas palabras. Uno de los recuerdos más vívidos que tengo de él fue cuando me tragué una moneda (como a los 5 años) y sin decir nada me llevo a la clínica y me hizo unos rayos X, luego sacó monedas del bolsillo y se puso a ver cuál coincidía en tamaño.

3. 📉Compared to patients in the lowest-income quartile, those in the high-income quartile experienced a 22% reduced risk of FTR. 4. 📉Private insurance as a primary payer resulted in 24% reduced risk of FTR compared to Medicare beneficiaries.
