With each of her actions, on the other side of the world, she will make a transcendental mark on the lives of those who surround her today.

Our Dean, María Paz Rodríguez, points out that “as the 2023 International Ambassador of our Faculty, you are a valuable voice that promotes dialogue and collaboration in an increasingly interconnected world. Your contributions, work in the health field, and experiences will help to strengthen the ties between different cultures and foster mutual respect and understanding.
