Biography
My name is Alexei Peter dos Santos, and I'm an educator and clinical oncologist. For a long time, I saw myself as a physician and an educator. My deepest wishes are to create an education environment in healthcare that respects equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, and anti-racism frameworks. Education has always come first. Humbly, I intend to expose in my portfolio each movement made in this pendulum trajectory between Education, Medicine, consideration for people and nature, and the need to project and build alternatives for a new reality that is more attentive to the preservation of health and the ecosystem.
