World Master: Karen’s week with Isico

Isico offers those taking its ONLINE MASTER COURSE “Principles and Practice of Scoliosis Conservative Treatment”, which has now been running for three years, the chance to see clinical practice in operation at our institute’s Milan headquarters.

Dr Karen Amaya Solìs, one of the 2019 course participants, decided to take advantage of this opportunity and flew over from Peru specially. While she was here, we decided to ask her about her experience as one of our “students”. Thank you for the chat, Karen!

Could you tell us about your studies?
I studied medicine at Ricardo Palma University (Lima, Peru), and then specialised in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (also in Lima).

What is your profession?
I am a medical doctor, a specialist in physical and rehabilitation medicine. I work at the National Institute of Rehabilitation “Dra Adriana Rebaza Flores” Amistad Perú – Japón in Lima, Peru (South America).

Why you did register for the World Master course?
Because I was interested in expanding my knowledge about how to manage scoliosis, using the most recent quality information and following current clinical practice guidelines. 

What makes the World Master different from other educational courses and masters programs?
It allows you to share information and experiences with colleagues around the world. You can also plan your study time around your own schedule.

Are you satisfied with what you have learned?
Totally. I obtained accurate and well-structured information about scoliosis that I can now use in my clinical practice.

If you were asked to recommend the course, what would you say?
That it is a great opportunity to learn from the best teachers — doctors who have extensive experience in scoliosis. The best thing is that you can interact with them and resolve your doubts.
