I am an Assistant Attending Physician in the Urology Service in the Department of Surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). After studying Medicine at the School of Medicine of the Universidad de Chile in Santiago, Chile, I sought a specialty where I could work in a clinical setting and improve my surgical skills. This led me to pursue a residency in Urologic Surgery. My training includes a research fellowship at the University of Minnesota, a clinical fellowship in Andrology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a clinical fellowship in Male Sexual and Reproductive Medicine at MSK. I am also interested in health administration and its impact on the quality and efficiency of medical services. This led me to obtain a master's in Health Administration from the Universidad de los Andes in Santiago, Chile. My research is focused on defining factors associated with erectile function recovery after radical pelvic surgery, providing safety data regarding testosterone therapy in patients with prostate cancer, and investigating sexual dysfunction and low testosterone in survivors of cancer, fertility preservation in patients with cancer, and predictors of sexual dysfunction and fertility preservation in patients after oncologic treatment. I have presented several abstracts at national and international conferences, been involved in numerous projects requiring multi-institutional collaborations, and published numerous papers in peer-reviewed journals.
