Júlia Reis

Physician practising in Brazil, with 15 years in emergency and primary care. I am open to relocating to Europe.

Where I stand. Portuguese (EU) citizen. I practise medicine in Brazil, where I have been registered since 2011. To practise medicine in a European country, my degree must first be validated there. Meanwhile I am looking for roles in operations, quality, patient safety and clinical research.
