27 years old, family medicine resident. Passionate about preventive medicine and woman's health, with particular interest in quaternary prevention and female empowerment.

My name is Marta Costa Cardoso, I am Portuguese and a recently graduated (2017) medical doctor from Portugal. I have completed my medical studies - Integrated Master's degree in Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra. I always felt the urge of doing something more than just ‘treating the disease’, I saw myself treating patients and their families over their lifespan, in a longitudinal perspective of Health Care. Thereby, I chose Family and General Practice (GP) specialty and I’m currently on the 3rd of this four-year specialisation training program. I work in a Portuguese Primary Health Care Centre at Coimbra - more precisely at USF Araceti - a Family Health Unit, of ACES Baixo Mondego - a Health Care Centre Group.

My name is Ariadna Carles Pallarès, and I am a Family doctor Trainee at Catalan Health Institute (Girona, Spain). I am 26 years old. I graduated Medicine in Autonomous University of Barcelona in 2018. As I finished my degree, I started working as General Practicioner in Blanes Primary Health Center (Girona, Spain). Inicially I wanted to pursue a career in neurology, but that inicial short contact with Family Medicine made a huge impact on me. Finally, I started my training as Family doctor in Can Gibert Primary Health Center on October 2020.
