Ep. 1. From Latin America to Europe: Building a career in urology abroad

What does it take to leave an established career behind and build a new professional life as a urologist in Europe?

In this first episode of the Beyond borders: Latin American voices in European urology series, Dr. Alejandra Bravo-Balado (ES) is joined by Dr. Mariela Corrales Acosta (FR), a urologist from Peru currently working in France. They discuss her journey from Latin America to Europe, including the challenges of validating her qualifications, adapting to a new healthcare system and culture, and establishing herself professionally abroad.

The conversation also explores the importance of mentorship and resilience, differences in work–life balance, and the personal sacrifices that come with international mobility.
