Hello APP Colleagues,
On May 19th,
we welcomed Carlos Borges, PA-C to present on Management of Pneumonia in
the ICU.
Carlos grew up in Fall
River, Massachusetts, where his family settled after immigrating from the
Azores. From a young age, he developed a keen interest in medicine, which led
him to become an EMT. After graduating high school, Carlos pursued his passion for
the sciences at the University of Rhode Island, earning a degree in biological
sciences.
During the COVID-19
pandemic, Carlos dedicated himself to frontline healthcare, working as an EMT
with the university’s ambulance corps and as a CNA in the local ER. His
experiences during this critical time inspired him to further his education and
pursue a career as a Physician Assistant.
Carlos earned his
Master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies at Bryant University in North
Smithfield, Rhode Island. As a student, he served as a board member for the
Rhode Island Association of Physician Assistants, representing his peers.
Throughout his training, he discovered a deep passion for Critical Care
Medicine, prompting him to seek specialized experience through DHMC’s critical
care APP residency program.
Set to graduate in
September, Carlos looks forward to joining an ICU team, where he can continue
to grow as an intensivist and make a meaningful impact in critical care.
