WINNER BIO

My name is Orazi Soledad, I was born on July 19, 1988 in Bahía Blanca, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. My family is composed of 3 sisters, my mother and my father. My father always worked as a gas fitter and my mother is Biochemistry, but she worked as a professor. I don´t have any medical relatives, but I always wanted to be a doctor. I lived in that small city for 26 years, when I graduated in Medicine School (Universidad Nacional del Sur), and moved to Neuquén, a place located 500 km from Bahía Blanca. After several exams, I was able to do my residency in cardiology in this place. During that time, I had the opportunity to rotate in two amazing cardiac institutions in Argentina, ICBA (Instituto Cardiovascular de Buenos Aires) and El Cruce Hospital, in 2018.

Following the attainment of my cardiology degree, I started working at the hospital in a small town (San Martín de los Andes) with a population of around forty thousand inhabitants. Then, in 2019, I presented a pioneering proposal to the health authorities of San Martin de los Andes Hospital, looking for further training and to be able to offer Doppler Echocardiography to patients at the Hospital and its surrounding area. The proposal involved periodic training trips (every 15 days) over a year to a highly regarded healthcare center in Argentina (ICBA, Cardiovascular Institute of Buenos Aires), located in Buenos Aires, while continuing to attend the patients at the town’s hospital. I finished the fellowship in August 2020.

Since that moment I have dedicated myself to clinical cardiology in San Martín de los Andes. Although I really enjoy my work, I think it is a good time to continue growing in my professional career, determined to discover new places and new colleagues to meet.
