After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the School of Medicine at the National University of La Plata. During his third year, he began his medical residency at the ''Hospital Policlínico San Martín'', a medical center that received the most complicated cases from practically all of Buenos Aires Province and brought him into contact with patients for the first time. He attended procedures carried out by professors José María Mainetti and Federico E.B. Christmann, from whom he learned the simplicity and standardization that he would later apply to cardiovascular surgery, one of his many great contributions to cardiovascular operating techniques. Favaloro graduated with a Medical Degree in 1949.〔 Following graduation, he applied for a position as a medical auxiliary, but the offer required him to enroll in the Peronist Party, something he did not accept. He then moved to a small town named Jacinto Aráuz in La Pampa Province after being offered job as the town's doctor; when the resident doctor died, he succeeded him and brought in his brother Juan José to the clinic. He married María Antonia Delgado in 1951.〔 Favaloro and his brother endeavoured to improve the general level of health in what was then a remote region. They trained and educated the general public, teachers, nurses and improved health-care delivery. They equipped the town with an operating room, X-ray, improved the laboratory thereby providing essential surgical and diagnostic tools. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「René Favaloro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
