Postgraduate studies



I had never questioned the possibility of doing a postgraduate before, so when I saw the blog's theme I began to investigate and the Doctorate in Public Health caught my attention. It is taught in the same university that I am studing, so I think that in the near future I might get interested.

Last semester I had a public health course with Professor Ariel Castro, and it was very interesting. There, we address issues such as: the health system in Chile, social determinants, the epidemiology of some diseases, among others. I like knowing about the health system in Chile, it serves a lot to work in the medical area, to know about the GES, the different health plans that exist, the policies of the health systems, all that is a different approach, and I Think that it's really interesting.

Based on the above, the Doctorate in public health would be very useful to apply new models and methods to improve health in Chile.

This deviates a bit from my plans as a future pharmaceutical, but it is another option to perfect my profession, this is beyond laboratories and pharmacies, I see it like something to try to solve a "general problem", which includes all of us, The Health System.

My future job

Despite I love to travel, the work of a pharmaceutical chemist isn't, definitely, a job that is done outdoors, either in a pharmacy, in a laboratory, or in a hospital, and the work I would like to do it's related to the last one; the medical area, next to doctors and nurses, because I would like to bring a better attention to each patient. If I get to choose the medical area, I wouldn't be able to travel so much, unless I go to another place to work. I don't think this option is bad, owing to there are a lot of places in Chile where the pharmaceutical staff is scarce. I have not rejected the option of working in a pharmaceutic laboratory, I think it would be great too, because I like the laboratory environment, either to investigate new medicines or to prepare the medicaments that alredy exist, I like both ideas, but I think that traveling is more probably being part of the research area.  By now, the salary isn't what worries me the most, I know that the jo

A country I would like to visit.

I have always think about traveling to Cuba because I’m in love with the landscapes, the culture, the music and all of the joy that Cuban people can offer. Despite of the politics problems they have, the resource and money shortage, I’m still thinking that it’s a beautiful country for all of us. If I had the opportunity to be there, I would tour all the places that have been declared World Heritage by Unesco, I also would like to tour and admire the colorful colonial architectures. Some places that I would like to visit are Havana, Varadero, Baracoa, among many others! In spite of being a wonderful place, I would not like to study or work there, due to the economic and political problems the country has presented in the last century, but without a doubt I will go for a period of time to know these beautiful places and their wonderful people.
