What is your opinion about the current state of this medical speciality? What about its future?
Digestive specialty moves towards a greater interaction with other branches of medicine and from this approach we obtain initiatives such as the Program for the Reduction of Digestive Stress.
As science progresses, we understand better how different causes may create a same effect and the need to create medical teams combining professionals from different areas of expertise.
What do you like the most about this career? What about CMED?
I find it absolutely rewarding to guide broken and damaged people through daily life and problems to help them learn how to use the resources they have available to care for themselves, cure themselves and mend themselves
When someone feels bad inside, at an emotional and state of mind level, thoughts are polluted, health is severely damaged and personal relations start to intoxicate. The person suffering from stress tends to feel overwhelmed by problems and unable to find a solution.
Most attendants to the Course for the Reduction of Stress feel a substantial change after the second class. They are not the only ones benefiting from it, also their environment: family and co-workers.
In CMED I have the opportunity to focus on people with digestive diseases who are indeed some of the most related to anxiety and stress and where we can achieve better results.
