Our testimonials

Evelyn Tatiana Tasayco

Graduate

One of the best decisions of my life was to study Radiology at Cayetano. This experience transformed me as a human being. Cayetano gave me all the tools to achieve the necessary skills and become an excellent graduate in Radiology.

Thanks to the agreement, I studied at CESPU (Portugal) and obtained a double degree. This experience gave me a global vision of my degree course. Currently I work in cardiovascular radiology, hemodynamics and electrophysiology at the Heart Reference Center (CENACOR) of the Dos de Mayo National Hospital and at the Renal Oncology Clinic – CREO of the Universidad Cayetano Heredia.

I am very happy to be from Heredia and to work in what I am passionate about.
