Testimonios
La formación del Programa de Especialización en Neurocirugía de la USFQ me ha permitido tener una competencia no solo en el país sino en el exterior. El ritmo de trabajo al que nos acostumbramos es excelente. La práctica asistencial en hospitales del sector público y privado nos permitió palpar la realidad del país y manejarnos adecuadamente en ambos campos. Adicionalmente, fui recibido sin objeción para cursar una subespecialidad en el exterior. Definitivamente, recomendaría este programa de posgrado.
La Universidad San Francisco de Quito me permitió hacer mi especialidad tan soñada. La exposición a diversos escenarios hizo que mi formación sea completa. Cuenta con profesionales de alta calidad que sin celo compartieron sus secretos, habilidades y conocimientos para formar verdaderos neurocirujanos.
