Catarina Pais Rodrigues, MD
Dr. Pais Rodrigues has been involved in curriculum development and the improvement of medical education for more than 7 years. As a student leader, she held different roles in pedagogical committees which required her to become well-acquainted with teaching and assessment methodologies, quality assurance mechanisms, and the challenges of curriculum implementation.
Later, while working with the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA), her focus turned to global health topics and curricular gaps in health professionals' education. Currently, at ScholarRx, Catarina's goal is to promote meaningful student engagement in projects and coordinate the development of educational content on global health matters.
