Biosketch: Agustin graduated from the Autonomous University of Guadalajara in Mexico. In 2004, he founded, along with other distinguished peers and professors, the first Scientific Society of Medical Students at this University. During his senior year, he was granted the opportunity to assist in the development of research projects. This is considered a privilege since the National Health Department grants this opportunity to only one percent of medical seniors in Mexico. Besides surgery, Agustin also enjoys jogging and playing guitar.
