“As Peace Corps Medical Contractor, I’ve been working in the medical team of PC Romania since 1999 as a physician. I’m here to help trainees and volunteers with all medical needs they might have during service, such as: physical exams, diagnosis, treatments, providing medication and medical information, phone calls, appointments, keeping contact with OMS in Washington. I graduated from the Medical School in Bucharest in 1991, I received Ultrasound training in Mannheim-Germany, I participated in Medical Overseas Staff Training for PC in Washington, D.C., and after almost four years of training I became a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist under supervision.
