Welcome to our page.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\nI\u2019m a Board Certified Family Physician graduated from the University of PR School of Medicine and Family Medicine from the same school. I also completed Fellowships from Disparities Leadership Program in Mass General and National Institute for Program Director Development from Association of Family Medicine Medical Directors.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\nMy family is my major success and passion. Since graduation, I have been immersed in Academic Medicine and have been combining it with Cosmetic Medicine since 2012. As an art lover, my hobbies are mostly handcrafts specially jewelry making. Searching for a suitable physical activity I discovered that Yoga practice served to strength my body and to ease my soul finding the most needed balance.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\nI consider that Family Medicine is the most complete specialty which allows us to reach the most diverse population and prepares us to deal with many conditions and situations. \u00a0We are called to be our patients advocates and seek their whole well-being. \u00a0A Family Physician never gets bored and needs to be a natural problem solver and must be a caring and intelligent individual.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\nInspiring our successors has been challenging in the latest years because of the transformation of our career with more administrative requirements, but this doesn\u2019t should keep us from aiming towards excellence in our program.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\nI invite you to explore our page and don\u2019t hesitate to contact us if you have questions about our program.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Astrid Morales-Ralat, MD<br \/>Family Medicine Program Director<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;912&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text] Astrid Morales-Ralat, MD [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] Hi!
