Biography

Dr. conde upon graduating as a Medical Doctor, awarded with a summa cum lade from one of the most prestigious universities of Latin America, University of Buenos Aires, I was admitted as a resident of Cardiology at ICBA in Buenos Aires. I always obtained high scores in all my in-service exams and became the resident that was most frequently asked to give presentations before all the institutional staff, which gave rise to my interest in education. I have always had a high patient satisfaction rate, an excellent relationship with my superiors as well as natural team leader skills. After completion of my residence, I was voted Chief of Residents by both my tutors and the residents. I was then appointed Chief of Residents, Resident Instructor, Course Coordinator, Chief of the Emergency Department, Chief of Cardiology Department at Anchorena Hospital, Staff Member of Cardiology Department at ICBA, President of the Scientific Committee at ICBA, where I am still working. My permanent growth within the same health centre helped open the doors for further development in other institutions. I was appointed Associate’s Professor at USAL University, Professor of Cardiology at University of Buenos Aires, Lecturer and Staff Member at the Argentine Association of Cardiology, and Cleveland Clinic (USA) annually offers me the freedom to decide whether I or any other cardiologist of my choice participates as a guest of their symposiums. I have always been very interested in research as I strongly believe it is the key for progress in any field of study. I published many articles as principal and co-author investigator in international journals. As President of the Scientific Committee of one the most prestigious health centres of Latin America and Member of the Argentine Association of Cardiology that sets the medical procedures for Cardiology nationwide, I am considered a key opinion leader in my region. I finished Master’s course in Clinical Effectiveness, which is a study programme granted by both Harvard University and University of Buenos Aires. I am highly committed with the progress that the region is achieving in this medical area and strive to participate in bringing all the latest medical advances and knowledge to the professionals of the region. I am currently the National Coordinator for Alecardio Trial , AlePrevent and Accelerate in Argentina. My work is characterised by a constant search for professionalism, responsibility, progress, and high values, never losing sight of what should always be any doctor’s top priority: the patient.
