Learning to ask better questions
Profile
Medicine provides the clinical questions. Research offers disciplined ways to answer them. Product thinking helps translate the result into a workflow people can actually use.
Felipe's principal clinical interest is anesthesiology, supported by interests in perioperative care, airway management, pain, critical care, and burn care. A 10-week clerkship at CHU Lille added focused experience in Burn Anesthesia and Cardiothoracic Anesthesia.
At Afya, he works as an Assistant Editor and Healthcare Consultant, developing evidence-based educational content and reviewing AI-generated clinical material. He passed USMLE Step 1 in September 2026. His long-term goal is a career combining clinical care, research, and teaching in anesthesiology.
