I studied studied medicine at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, in the city of Medellín.
At the end of the year 2000, I travelled to Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I re-validated my General Medical degree at the prestigious University of Sao Paulo (USP).
I began my studies in plastic surgery at the renowned Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo, obtaining the title of Plastic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon from that institution and was declared a Plastic Surgery Specialist by the world-famous Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.
I have been a member of that institution since 2007.
As a resident student, I obtained prizes for my performances, including the the Dr. José Rebello Netto Prize achieving second place in the course of residents.
