Christian Espana Schmidt
The Danbury Medical Files
Hello, I am Christian Espana Schmidt, MD. During my 25 years of medical career, I have witnessed changes in the medical profession. Starting as a medical student in Guatemala, Central America, where after medical school I completed my internal medicine residency, and then I served in a rural community for 6 years with innovation that persists, I went to New York City, where I repeated another internal medicine residency and was chief resident. My joy for teaching took me to Pensilvania where I learned about Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) a revolutionary technique to enhance physical examinations. I proudly started the POCUS program at Danbury Hospital. Now, I am developing the POCUS program of CIFC Health, a program dedicated exclusively to teaching POCUS in the outpatient clinic. As you can see, I already said I teach POCUS; however, I am very interested in other topics in medicine. Of course I will continue to discuss POCUS, however I hope to dive in new topics in medicine. Welcome to my podcast. I hope you find something of value. The content is not generated with AI; all content is curated, and I try to present the evidence behind my opinions. The PodPodcast is mainly for entertainment purposes, and my recommendations need to be taken as such. Welcome again
