Having my summer practice in Emergency Cardiology in 2021 and 2022 helped me utilize my interpersonal skills such time management and problem-solving skills with my patients. Being hard working and empathetic, I managed to have an outstanding communication between me and my patients. I am an organized and successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. During my practice, I assisted to electric cardioversion and different surgeries: chronography, angioplasty, cardiac stimulation. I learned to make intramuscular, intravenous and subcutaneous injections. I learned to make Electrocardiograms and the professors helped me interpret it. After every ECG I made, I visited the patient with its medical record, to ascertain diseases, conditions and complications in relation to cardiovascular system. I worked as medical assistant in Intensive Care and Reanimation with patients diagnosed with Infectious Endocarditis, Myocardial Acute Infarction, Pulmonary Cancer. I took care of them by respecting the protocol of treatment prescribed by doctors. Moreover, I learned to make catheterisation such as Foley Catheter. I assisted to Thoracentesis and Pericardiocentesis. I also learned to make perfusions.

To sum up, I am ready to accept new challenges and to solve tough problems because the life of my patients is a top priority for me. Having willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals, make me adapt easily in new and different environment. I am ready to help my team achieve best results in order to make the patient's life prosperous. I have a huge interest in developing a treatment plan and explaining it to patients and their families. Moreover, I love educating my patients about potential cardiovascular problems and recommending prevention techniques.
