Valdes Bollela (PHIL 2006) reports that in July 2008, he was hired to be the medical manager of the outpatient clinic of the Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Sao Paulo (HCFMRP-USP). Valdes explains that it is a university hospital with more than 7,000 people working there every day (employees, residents, teachers, and support staff). “Every day we see more than 2,500 patients in our outpatient clinic and we are the reference for high-complexity medical assistance in the Northeast Area of Sao Paulo State,” he reports. Valdes shares that he is especially happy to be at HCFMRP-USP because it is where he completed his medical and postgraduate education. He reports that he has an opportunity to use something from the FAIMER “toolkit box” on a daily basis, especially the conflict and change management tools.
