The Lanzarote Health Services Management, attached to the Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, has welcomed 23 new residents, twelve in medicine and eleven in nursing, who are beginning their training period in the health centers and the two hospitals on the island.
The event, held on Monday, June 8, at the Insular Council, was attended by the director of the Lanzarote Health Area, Erasmo García, the manager of Health Services, Pablo Eguia, and the head of studies of the Management, Verónica Gutiérrez; as well as the heads and tutors of the different teaching units.
The twelve new resident internal physicians (MIR) will specialize in Geriatrics, Family and Community Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, and Traumatology. For their part, the eleven resident nurses will develop their training in the areas of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Geriatrics, Family and Community Nursing, and Pediatrics.
