So I just wish them the best and that they learn everything necessary, the country is waiting for it and public health will be very happy to receive them.”
Another of the authorities present was Dr. Tatiana Aldunate, Deputy Medical Director of the Hospitalwho highlighted the teaching work of the Fricke. “I think it is a special day because it is the first day of every year that we receive the scholarship recipients who are going to train with us and who ensure quality care in our network. We also remind ourselves that apart from having a healthcare function, the other function is teaching and for years we have been the trainers of all the doctors who later specialize here and continue in the other establishments of the network, so it is a very special day.”

A support process
Doctor Guillermo Rojas, head of the Teaching Assistance Relations Unit of the Gustavo Fricke Hospital He recalled that when he was a student, he went through the same stage, where there was still no unit to which he could turn to resolve doubts. “Always an encouragement. I, well, went through the same stage. I was a primary scholar of internal medicine after urology, therefore, at that time there was no unit that had this level of coordination, both with the university and the service, and that helps a lot when you arrive, you arrive quite disoriented and always This type of reception helps.”
Today’s severe users have many comorbidities, which leads us as a hospital – and the one with the highest complexity in the integrated network made up of 11 hospitals – to the need to strengthen more and better professionals. Fernanda Larco is one of the scholarship recipients who enters the specialty of family medicine. She stated that the induction was very complete and will help her get started in this process.
“I thought it was very good, very good with all the content that one needs to be able to start. Obviously there is a lot left to do because there are many documents to read and everything, but it seemed very good to me.” Sebastian Sepúlvedaanother of the students who will enter Internal Medicine, highlighted the good reception that the hospital had. “I am nervous, too nervous to start because it is a brutal change from where I come from, but the truth is that I am pleased with how beautiful the hospital is, the good reception and how orderly the induction was. Pretty excited to get started.”
