Our very own Dr. Velez (third year resident) is speaking at the medPACT First Global Health Conference. She is sharing about her overseas medical missions experiences. She is featured on the medPACT website:
Dr. Tania Velez is a third year Family Medicine Resident at Florida Hospital in Orlando, FL. She was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Florida. After completing her undergraduate degree at University of Central Florida, she completed her medical education at University of South Florida College of Medicine. During medical school, she was the President of the International Health Service Collaborative, an organization that promotes sustainable health mission trips. Although Dr. Velez is in the early part of her medical career, her commitment to service has already been evidenced by medical mission work to improve the health of underserved people in the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Thailand and Panama. In addition, she has done elective rotations at Srinakharinwirot University, Thailand and Quito, Mondaña, and Esmeraldas, Ecuador. International and service missions throughout her education have shaped Dr. Velez into a leader in global health as evidenced by her most recent work as a Health Service Project Physician in Guayabito, Panama in May, 2010. She hopes to share her experience with the attendants of the Inaugural Global Health Conference by giving medical students a resident’s perspective on the importance of global health in the practice of medicine.Congrats Tania! We are very proud of you!
I am very proud of My daughter Tania, for her loving personality, and for her committment to her career. Don't never give up Dr Velez. Always ahead.
