When I was accepted for doing electives at Weill Cornell Medical College, I knew it was going to be one of the most invaluable experiences in my life. Weill Cornell Medical College is an outstanding institution and New York-Presbyterian Hospital; one of the U.S. top ranked hospitals. Indeed, the number one in New York.

My first elective was Pediatric Endocrinology, I was really excited and eager to start this rotation because this specialty truly fascinates me and I knew that I was going to be part of an important team. It was certainly amazing the broad variety of cases I could see, included those we study from the book and think are extremely rare to find in real life. The attendings were actually wonderful, they were predisposed to answer my questions and to create a happy and warm environment; they as the residents and fellows made me feel part of the team. I had the opportunity to make a presentation with the Chief of the Department, attendings and fellows, after that speech, with Dr. Censani we agreed on reporting the case, now we are about to submit the paper to a journal. I am really grateful with Dr. Antal and Dr. Censani, they are really admirable, as the whole Pediatric Endocrinology team.

During my second month, Pediatric Cardiology really captivated me, the attendings taught me how to read and interpret pediatric ECG's and Echos in a very didactic and funny way. I was allowed to be the first who saw the patient, made the history, the physical exam and then presented the case to the attending. As part of the rotation, I presented a case, showed the whole follow-up, from clinics until the catheterization and after, reviewed the topic and discussed it with my attending, Dr. Steinberg, a dedicated and excellent teacher!. He always asked me challenging questions; these were boosts to always strive myself.

Finally, I would like to express gratitude to Dr. Finkel and Mrs. Dianne Young, they were extremely lovely and made me feel like at home!. This is an experience that has marked me for the rest of my life. I really appreciate the opportunity of practicing medicine at NYP hospital through WCMC, making Cornell's and International's friends and living in NYC. This unforgettable experience drives me to see further, go further!
