What is your opinion about the current state of this medical speciality? What about its future?
The part of Medicine focused on the digestive system is a very broad speciality, which encompasses two great areas: Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Technological advancements over the last decades have driven the development of those techniques used within this speciality, namely, Endoscopy, Ultrasound and the combination of these two: Endoscopy Ultrasound.
Regarding Endoscopy, its progress can be divided in two stages: from "Endoscopy Diagnosis" to "Endoscopy Treatment", which allows us to treat bleeding lesions, remove polyps, place prosthetics to alleviate tumours and remove gallstones from the biliary duct, among other uses. This therapeutic side has offered quicker, simpler, less aggressive and more cost-efficient alternatives to surgery, which cause less complications and, consequently, can be used in a complementary way.
In the future, this speciality will move towards colon and liver cancer prevention Genetics will undoubtedly be integrated into doctors work, as well as into those concepts related to pharmacogenetics

What do you like the most about this career? What about CMED?
What I love the most about my career is the simple notion that my work is aimed at helping people heal or at least relieve their suffering, when the former is not possible.
The possibility of building a multidisciplinary working group, which fosters collaboration and chooses the option best suited to each patient and our own experience is the aspect I find the most interesting about this project.
