Uzman Plastik Cerrah El ve üst ekstremite cerrahisi
Dr. Theodora Papavasiliou
Geçmiş
Dr. Theodora Papavasiliou, Kıbrıs'ta doğdu. Erken yaşlardan itibaren bilimlere yoğun bir ilgi ve tıpta yeniliğe karşı bir tutku gösterdi. National and Kapodistrian University of Athens Tıp Fakültesi'nden mezun oldu ve uzmanlık eğitimini Birleşik Krallık'ta, plastik, rekonstrüktif ve estetik cerrahi alanında sürdürdü.
Lisansüstü eğitimi onu Oxford University Hospitals, St Thomas' Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster ve Great Ormond Street Hospital'dan geçirdi. Bu süreçte el cerrahisi, mikrocerrahi, pediatrik rekonstrüktif cerrahi ve travma yönetimi alanlarında beceriler geliştirdi. Daha sonra Londra'daki St Thomas' Hospital'da el cerrahisi alanında bir fellowship tamamladı.
Dr. Papavasiliou eğitime ve yeniliğe bağlıdır. Oxford University tıp öğrencileri için Plastik Cerrahide Klinik Eğitim Sorumlusu ve King's College London için sınav görevlisi olarak görev yaptı. Ayrıca, cerrahi eğitim için 3D baskılı araçlar ve simülasyon modelleri geliştiren, Kıbrıs merkezli bir şirket olan Stelth Instruments'ın kurucu ortağı ve CEO'sudur.
Yirmiden fazla bilimsel yayını, uluslararası ödülleri ve cerrahi enstrümantasyon alanında bir patenti ile cerrahi eğitime ve uygulamaya katkıda bulunmaya devam etmektedir.
