Perform community service at the National Institute of Cardiology Ignacio Chavez in the molecular biology laboratory where further develop this field , getting involved in multiple lines of research and publication so far . During this period had the opportunity to wrote three chapters of a book for medicine students and the orthopedic chapters section for the book for aspiring medical residents (EXARMED) . I always wanted to be a surgeon and I am aware that research in this field is lacking in my country , a fact that I would change. I am doing the General Surgery Residency in the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS). In the last year I had developed a clinical trial of appendicitis planning to finalize and publish it in the next 6 months. During this period I am addressing my group of residents to develop 4 lines of research in laparoscopic procedures , cholecystitis, diabetic foot and fast track in colon surgery, and publication of some case reports.
