October 12, 2011

O semanário Expresso publicou no último sábado (8 de Outubro 2011) um artigo perfil comigo. Podem consultar aqui o documento pdf. Deixo-vos um excerto do texto:

O homem que ingressou no mercado de trabalho a fazer limpezas na fábrica alemã da Mercedes-Benz, trilhou ao longo da sua carreira um percurso de mérito que é hoje reconhecido pelos seus pares em Portugal e lá fora. Assume como grande ambição profissional “contribuir para colocar a medicina dentária no topo das profissões mais reconhecidas em Portugal e mudar a perceção errónea que a generalidade das pessoas tem deste ramo da medicina e que se prende com a associação à dor, desconforto e dificuldade na valorização da saúde oral e do papel do médico dentista”.

For English speakers: Profile article published in Expresso, the largest weekly newspaper in Portugal.
