About Dr. Aislin Azcarate

I was born in Mexico City where I studied at an American school throughout my basic education. At 2012 I started medical school (7 years) at the Facultad Mexicana de Medicina Universidad La Salle, where I was in the top 5 of my class and had a special honors recognition on the CENVAL test when I graduated. I did my internship year in the Peninsula of Yucatan working with indigenous patients. I did my social service year in a small town near Puerto Vallarta named Sayulita, where I worked with both local patients and in private practice with tourists. After graduating I moved to the island of Cozumel and worked for a private hospital where I took care of surgical and hospitalized patients, and hotel conults. I worked there for 6 months during the pandemic tending on COVID patients on the ICU unit. I did a semester of a surgical residency program and currently giving online consults, doing medical translations and assisting on the operating room. I currently live in the Yucatan where I assist a team of surgeons on their procedures, and also do online work.
