"Dr. Cuauhtémoc Lozano De La Rosa stands out as an exceptional educator. His vast knowledge in the medical field and biochemistry, coupled with his dedication to teaching, left a profound impact on me. Additionally, the IMSS 110 personnel and colleagues who became my mentors and friends provided invaluable support and guidance throughout my journey."
