My name is Brenda Narice. I come from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I got my degree as a medical doctor at the beginning of this year at the University of Buenos Aires. I am also an English-Spanish translator with a major in medical translation. In 2010, I was granted a scholarship to study Women’s Health and Obstetrics for 6 months at the University of Oslo, which allowed me to identify significant differences between the Norwegian and the Argentinean health care system.
After getting my degree, I did an elective in Obstetrics and Gynecology for a private clinic in Buenos Aires: Sanatorio Guemes. This experience allowed me to gain some insight into the private health care system in Buenos Aires since I had done my undergraduate training at a local medical centre run by the State, hospital Dr. Cosme Argerich.
I have always been very interested in Gynecology & Obstetrics but also in education and activities that concern local communities. Therefore, I spent 2 years at the Executive committee and Student Council of my translator’s course organizing activities for promoting the study of English within our society. I also have some formal experience in teaching as I helped as a teacher assistant at the Pharmacology Department of the University of Buenos Aires for two years.
I am really interested in this course since it would provide me with the right training and knowledge to conduct scientific research, especially in the field of Sexual and Reproductive Health. As an undergraduate student, I lacked the opportunity to study research methodology since it is not currently part of the syllabus at my University. Even though research is not highly encouraged in my homeland, I realize how important it is to know how to do proper research for the sake of the patients and for the sake of medicine itself.
