I completed my medical degree, laying the foundation for my career in medicine. This degree gave me the knowledge and skills to start my journey as a doctor.
Specialisation in Cardiothoracic Surgery
After my medical degree, I focused on cardiothoracic surgery. This specialisation involved advanced training and hands-on experience in heart and chest surgeries.
I have trained and worked in various hospitals in Europe and the USA. This international experience has been valuable in broadening my expertise and approach to patient care.
My interest in research has led me to contribute to scientific journals, focusing on improving surgical techniques and patient outcomes.
I have been involved in teaching medical students and guiding new doctors. This experience has been fulfilling and an important part of my professional life.
Hello, I’m Dr. Kristo Papa. I’m a cardiothoracic surgeon with ten years of experience in surgery and teaching. I trained in medicine and specialised in cardiothoracic surgery. I have also done a Ph.D. and a Master’s in Cardiology.
I work at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London as a Cardiothoracic Surgeon. In my job, I look after many different patients and use the latest methods in surgery. I care a lot about my patients and always try to learn new things to help them better. Teaching is important to me too. I teach medical students and new doctors, sharing my knowledge and experience. I believe it’s good to mix practical skills with learning from books.
I also do research and write about it, focusing on making surgery better and safer for patients. In short, I am dedicated to my work in the hospital, in the classroom, and in research. I want to help my patients as much as I can and support them in their treatment.
