Here is a short interview about his stay at the Universidad de Navarra.

Why do you think it's important that students from the Universidad de Navarra receive classes from foreign teachers?
I think it is important to have exposure to foreign instructors in order to see and understand the way medicine is taught and practiced in other cultures/countries. Medicine is becoming a global practice as time goes on, and gaining early exposure to that global experience will certainly be useful to students later in their career. Further, having diverse faculty, each with their own unique approach to practice/teaching, allows the students to approach medicine from a number of pathways, increasing their likelihood of success in the field as a whole (by finding the path that works best for them).

Do you think these classes could be even more appealing for students who are interested in pursuing training outside of Spain?
Yes, early exposure to faculty from around the globe allows them to further understand what training looks like in other countries, and to more adequately consider if this is something they want to pursue.

What do you think should be the main virtues of a good doctor?
Obviously, a sound medical knowledge with good understanding of current best practices and management of a variety of conditions forms the foundation of being a good physician. However, I think by itself, knowledge is not enough to practice clinical medicine well. Excellent communication with both colleagues and patients is, I think, the most important aspect of being a good doctor. If you are unable to express your opinions/recommendations to colleagues, they are unlikely to be believed or followed. And similarly, if a patient doesn't have a solid grasp of their medical condition, explained at a level that is appropriate for them, it is impossible to make them active participants in their own care. Lastly, I think humility is an important part of being a physician. Understanding both the limitations of your own knowledge and the field of medicine as a whole is important to ensure your approach to the care of your patients is appropriate.
