Health Care - Danrlei, Laura P., Lucas e Rafaela.

FIELD OF INTEREST

Our field of interest is clearly in the health care area, where we can relate three different courses: Medicine, Physiotherapy and Veterinary Medicine. All of them, on its own courses, contains at least one subject from the other ones. For example, all of them work with anatomy classes and how the body of humans or animals work.

BEST UNIVERSITIES

It is hard to choose the best university, because if you study and compromise with the course all of them can be good in some certain ways, but here is some of the most crowded universities in the world and Porto Alegre.

Medicine

Clearly the most wanted Med School is Harvard, who didn't ever thought on studying there? They have the best campus and the most intelligent people studying there, which

makes it one of the best in the world.

Physiotherapy

University of East Anglia, in England, is considered one of the best in the world, including the physiotherapy course. The course recently achieved top ranking in Physiotherapy with the Complete University Guide - making the program the best in the UK.

Veterinary Medicine

Davis University of California is considered one of the best in the US for veterinary medicine, the quality of life on campus is enhanced by its proximity to the state capital and the San Francisco Bay Area, sites that offer a wealth of additional cultural, political, and social opportunities.

In Porto Alegre the best university is UFRGS, a public one which is really attended by people from all around the country. Because of this, it's really difficult for entering, because the selection is made trough a really hard exam.

PROFESSIOALS WELL-KNOWN

 

Ben Carson 

Ben Carson, now a retired American neurosurgeon and acclaimed author, was the first man to have successfully separated conjoined twins who were joined at the head. He and his team of doctors created history in 1987 by successfully separating the Binder twins, Patrick and Benjamin, both of whom survived and went on to lead individual lives. Today it might seem impossible to imagine that this brilliant neurosurgeon was once a poor student in school. Raised by a single mother, childhood was not easy for young Ben and he seemed poised to get into trouble. His mother Sonya though uneducated herself persuaded her children to study well and guided the boy away from trouble. Under her direction he blossomed into a great student who went to medical school. Eventually he became a world renowned neurosurgeon who specialized in separating conjoined twins. Carson is also the author of several best-sellers and has an interest in politics.

Louis J. Camuti 

Louis J. Camuti was a New York City veterinarian who made housecalls on cats and their people for over sixty years. He was the first veterinarian in the United States to devote his entire practice to cats. When Camuti was about 11 years old, he had typhoid fever, and while sick in bed, his mother left the house with food cooking on the stove. When the pot boiled over, gas began to fill the home. Their cat jumped onto his chest and weaved her head back and forth. He was too weak to get out of bed, and felt the cats efforts may have saved his life. Camuti began specializing in cats around 1932-33. At the time, veterinarians did not spend much time providing services to cats. Former patients and friends honor his pioneering commitment to the health of cats through the Dr. Louis J. Camuti Memorial Fund at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine’s Feline Health Center, which continues his life’s work.
