How was your experience into the SCOPE Program?

- It was a really nice experience. I was able to contribute to the sudent's development and the learning. That means a great motivation as a health professional. 

How was the relationship between the role of tutor and the student? 

- Fortunately, the student knew vey well the spanish language, so it wasn't a limitation. We have compared knowledge. We have compared surgical experiences. We went to scientific meetings and all was perfect.

Which are the suggestions for any students who want to go to surgical general service? 

- Well, the most important is the students know about the area in which they will be. Basic well, the most important is the students know about the area in which they will be. Basic acknowledgements about surgical, Wound Cleaning, etc. They must to know basic process and then they could apply in a live surgical.

Which are the suggestions for any students who want to go to surgical general service? 

- I would recommend, that students come knowing some basic knowledge of surgery,  they should read a little of the basic diseases of surgery, and they have basically a lot of curiosity, desire to work, very curious about the patients, their care and finally they could be pending  about their surgeries and how the patients evolve after the procedures.

How was your experience into the SCOPE Program?

- It was a very enriching experience. Elizabeth for her youth and her desire, she taught me more than I could have taught her. 

How was the relationship between the role of tutor and the student? 

- I felt her desire to help the people, who eventually leave a little aside. She taught me what is to fight, to come to a country where things are different and yet retain their joy and their desire to overcome.

Which are the suggestions for any students who want to go to Neurology service? 

- That they are interested in knowing pathologies that are not always present in the countries from which they come. Neurocisticiercosis, tuberculosis, are not frequent in the countries of the first world and the contact with the symptomatology opens them fields, opens them diagnostic suspicions.

Will you invite to medical students to apply to the SCOPE program?

- Definitely, neither the frequency nor the form of presentation nor the whole pathology is always universal, there are areas of the earth that have certain preferences for some diseases and others do not. We have tropical diseases, other types of presentation even in degenerative diseases are different and knowing the globalization of pathology enriches us as doctors.

HOSPITAL DE LA POLICÍA N°1

How was your experience into the SCOPE Program?

- In a certain way, I've collaborated with the person who makes their boarding school, to can orientate themselves in deciding what is going to follow, the specialty for which they are going to define.

How was the relationship between the role of tutor and the student? 

- I have tryied to help, and if that help to have a better future for that person, that's better. Of course there are limitations, limitations when dealing directly with the patient but as far as it is possible to perform, they are allowed to do things.

Which are the suggestions for any students who want to go to Gynecology service? 

- I suggest that the students have already passed the theoretical part, so They already know the theory and we can guide them in the procedures. The clinical guidelines are universal but in practice it is different, it depends on the tutor, the hospital, the service, and it is a different experience

Will you invite to medical students to apply to the SCOPE program?

- Of course, it is good for a medical student to go and learn how the care process is carried out in other countries, not only to compare but to see how it can be improved here in the country, and to help the Teachers in terms of being updated in Processes that are used in the first world countries

How was your experience into the SCOPE Program?

- It is very interesting the activity as a teacher with exchange students because that way we realize how medical students are forming in Ecuador.

How was the relationship between the role of tutor and the student? 

- The activities are practical, The student has contact with the patient and I think this is the best way how medicine is learned

Which are the suggestions for any students who want to go to surgical general service? 

- Fundamentally, they should come reading about the most frequent pathologies in the countries they visit. They must be up to date in information on the cases involved in the service or the medium to which they will go.

Will you invite to medical students to apply to the SCOPE program?

. It is very important that Ecuadorian doctors have the opportunity to know other places because they can learn other pathologies and also learn how doctors in other countries attend their patients
