"Anatomic pathology is a medical specialty essential to understand the physiopathological processes of disease, to correlate them with clinical medicine and to arrive at a diagnosis to be able to help with treatment."

Eraña Rojas believes herself to be a researcher that, based on relevant clinical information, medical knowledge, and macroscopic and microscopic information, is capable to diagnose the pathologies in patients. She is certain that her challenge as an anatomopathologist is to keep herself up to date to arrive at a more accurate and complete diagnosis and to be of help on the patients' search for health. As a teacher, her main challenge is for her students to enjoy the learning process so that, despite difficulties, they feel pride when they finish their studies and have the necessary enthusiasm to continue their professional training.

"Children are a vulnerable group and it is the pediatrician's duty to safeguard their health and integrity. This is why pediatrics is the medical area that fulfills and interests me the most."

Pediatrics and medical education are César Alberto Lucio Ramírez's greatest passions. Pediatrics, because children are vulnerable persons, many times voiceless, that need someone to look after their health. Medical education, because it encompasses what doctors do every day: teaching and sharing knowledge with those they educate. Taking care of patients is highly rewarding to him. Helping sick children, walking alongside healthy boys and girls while they grow up and develop, delivering babies during childbirth, are activities he gets to learn from as well as reasons to be grateful for. He is also certain that the future of a society lies in our children. 

From the time he started medical school, Lucio Ramírez was drawn toward medical education. To train students in healthcare sciences has a great impact on society, which is why producing excellent professionals with clinical skills, knowledge, and kindness is a challenge he has decided to take on. When searching for new techniques for teaching and learning, he fulfills his intellectual curiosity and his sense of innovation. He believes that the main challenge for pediatrics is to focus on the health of children in spite of distractors or other elements against it. The greatest effort you can make when it comes to medical education is, he claims, to keep a fresh attitude towards the ways the new generations learn nowadays.

"Of the great universe of clinical nutrition, I became interested in non-communicable chronic diseases because they are the main challenge of every health professional."

What led Yareni Yunuen Gutiérrez Gómez to study clinical nutrition and specialize in non-communicable chronic diseases and population health was the fact that diseases could be prevented or treated thanks to it. She became interested in studying non-communicable chronic diseases (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer) because these cause 72 percent of deaths worldwide; however, their main risk factors can be avoided and are associated to nutrition. 

When Gutiérrez Gómez understood that individual treatment was influenced by many other far-reaching factors (social determinants of health and nutrition), she focused in population health. Observing existing programs and policies in México with a macro-approach, she can prevent ailments that generate a high psychological, economical and social cost. Although she considers the main challenge of her profession to be the modification of inappropriate lifestyles in people, she is also aware of the urgency of human resources in healthcare matters, which is why she is also passionate about teaching. 

She is convinced that empowered nutritionists can be agents of change in whatever environment they work in, they will help enrich the discipline and will contribute, together, to the progress of their country.
