Giordano Sosa Soto, MD - Boston Children's Hospital. Dr. Sosa Soto attended medical school at Universidad Dr. Jose Matias Delgado in El Salvador, his birth country. As a medical student, he participated in an international collaboration with Washington University in St. Louis to characterize the intestinal microbiota of the inhabitants of a rural Salvadoran village. This experience allowed him to appreciate the paramount importance of global cooperation in scientific projects. After graduation, Dr. Sosa Soto completed his Pediatric Residency training with a Global Child Health certificate at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. Dr. Sosa Soto is pursuing a Pediatric Infectious Diseases Fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital. His current research focuses on describing the characteristics of children diagnosed with extrapulmonary tuberculosis in Bangladesh. He also has a passion for medical education, which has led him to collaborate with the training program for Pediatric Infectious Diseases Fellows in El Salvador at the Hospital Nacional de Niños Benjamin Bloom, with case presentations and reviews of the most recent diagnostic and management approach for infectious diseases commonly found in this Central American country. Dr. Sosa Soto is working on expanding this collaboration with the leading pediatric hospital in El Salvador to foster further educational experiences for Salvadoran and US-based residents and fellows.
