About
Medicine is not just technique and knowledge. It is daily effort, empathy, humanity and constant learning.

Hello! My name is Emanuel and I was born in Curitiba, Brazil. I am a mechanical technician from IFPR, a physician from UFSC, and I hold a postgraduate degree in Urgent and Emergency Medicine from Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein.

Today I am a public servant at the UFSC School of Medicine in Araranguá, where I work as technical-administrative staff (TAE), Professor of Internal Medicine and Clinical Preceptor in Internal Medicine and Urgent and Emergency Care.

My professional dream has always been to teach. I love to study, I love to teach, and I believe that by teaching Medicine and helping to train good professionals I can reach many people. Education has a ripple effect: if I can positively influence one student, and that student in turn influences other professionals or cares for people in an ethical, humane and correct way every day, my work will be done.

I study. Every day.
Even after graduating and with an established career, learning cannot stop. That is how I stay up to date, reduce the chance of errors and commit to doing good work.

But without a doubt, the title I love most is father. It is what inspires me, every day, to try to be a better professional.

Frequently asked questions
Do you accept health insurance?

We only offer private in-person and telehealth appointments, but we issue an official invoice (Nota Fiscal) so you can request reimbursement from your health plan.

From what age?

Care is for patients aged 14 and over.

How long does an appointment last?

Appointments are never rushed: on average, 45 minutes to 1 hour, so there is time to listen to your story, examine you and explain things calmly.

Should I bring previous test results?

Yes, if you have them. Bring test results, prescriptions and a list of the medications you take — all of this helps with the diagnosis.

What payment methods do you accept?

Cash, PIX (Brazilian instant payment) and debit or credit card.

Mentorship

The first months after graduation bring decisions that medical school does not teach: where to work, how to organize your routine, how to handle your first cases without the supervision you had before. In the mentorship, you have a physician by your side at this start, with a guidance meeting, a career management meeting and, if you wish, discussion of your clinical cases during your first month of practice.

  1. 1Guidance meetingA conversation about the start of your professional life: where to work, how to organize your routine and how to handle your first patients.
  2. 2Up to 4 clinical case consultations90-minute sessions to discuss the real cases you are seeing, with step-by-step clinical reasoning.
