Karina Viloria-Rodríguez, a Puerto Rican native, daughter of Dominican parents, initially completed her bachelor’s degree in biology at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus. She subsequently pursued a medical degree at Central East University in the Dominican Republic. Eager to specialize in a particular field, she had the privilege of undertaking a residency in Family Medicine at the University of Puerto Rico, Recinto de Ciencias Médicas Campus, where she actively engaged with underserved communities. This experience allowed her to learn invaluable local medicinal practices and recipes. In the realm of Family Medicine, she has found fulfillment in various aspects of her work, including performing minor procedures, serving as a hospitalist, and above all, focusing on preventive medicine. With a firm belief in the intrinsic connection between mind, body, and soul, Karina embraces the concept of Integrative Health, which promotes overall wellness. Beyond her professional endeavors, she cherishes quality time spent with her beloved dog, Purkinje Carpentier, exploring and connecting with nature, nurturing her plants, and, true to her Caribbean roots, immersing herself in the myriad experiences offered by the sea and rivers.
