Dr Renan Sandrei de Oliveira

I work as a lead doctor providing the first point of care dealing with a diverse, low-income, low-literacy range of patients in a small town in Southern Brazil. The role would be equivalent to a Rural Generalist in Australia and is primarily a mix of general practice, primary care as well as urgent, acute and emergency care.

I perform the full spectrum of the clinical workup for patients, including ordering investigations, diagnosis, developing management plans, prescribing and referring to hospitals and specialist doctors.

I work as a leader in a multi-disciplinary team that includes nurses, dieticians, and therapists [what type of therapists do you mean psychologists??]. 

Key Achievements:

• Wide experience with emergency presentations including mental health presentations such as suicide attempts, anxiety attacks, and exacerbation of psychosis.
• Wide experience in medical emergency presentations, including acute myocardial infarctions, arrhythmias, blunt wound traumas, kidney stones and abdominal pains.
• Extended experience with mental health patients following up on a daily basis for acute presentations ad well as long-term follow-up of chronic conditions [Here I think you should talk a bit more about the cases you see regularly, are you looking after patients under the local mental health care team, depot injections, clozapine etc...]
• Wide experience with ante-natal care and womens' health appointments, pediatric routine appointments, immunization schedules, chronic infectious and non-infectious diseases appointments.
• Performed numerous minor procedures including sutures, IUD insertion, pap smear collection, syringe external auditory canal, matrixectomy (nail removal).
• Providing weekly medical home care to the most disabled and impaired patients, including mental health patients, with dementia, post-discharge from suicide attempts, and puerperal psychosis, among many other conditions.
• Experience with alcohol and other drug addictions, including opioids, psychostimulants and benzodiazepines. 
• Experience with electronic medical record systems, both prescriptions, exams results, referral letters, etc…
• Large experience managing COVID19-positive patients in all aspects in acute and chronic presentation.

I worked in a medium complexity public hospital with 5 acute beds and daily influx of 100 patients per day. I saw an average of 50 patients per shift, and significantly more during the COVID19 second wave.

[Here I would reference any mental health experience you had during this post]

My first position following internship. I worked as a Rural Generalist similar to my current post, including significant exposure to patients with mental health conditions.

The internship is completed as part of the medical degree in Brazil.

I had rotations in Internal Medicine, General Practice, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Pediatrics, Surgery across 20 months.

• Supervised observership performed in the Simulation Lab of a major military General Hospital for 8 weeks.
• Simulation training with medical interns, registrar and consultants in various procedures including oral and nasal intubation, CPR, central venous access, peripheral venous access, ABG, etc…
• All sets were performed with ultra-realistic models and robots for emergency situations in a Silicon Valley medical facility.

[This sounds like a medical school elective probably belongs below]
