Trained over 20 cardiology fellows as part of clinical practice.
Mentored seven undergraduate students, three Ph.D. candidates, and one post-doctoral researcher at the Cardiovascular Signaling Lab, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2015–present).
Dr. Verdejo has been an active and committed participant in the Chilean Congress of Cardiology, contributing continuously to its scientific agenda and program. This year, he has taken on the significant responsibility of organizing the meeting as General Secretary, reflecting his dedication to advancing cardiology in Chile. Additionally, Dr. Verdejo has been actively involved in the Annual Course of Cardiology for Primary Physicians, an initiative designed to enhance cardiovascular knowledge and skills among frontline healthcare providers.
As an advisor for scientific education in medicine, he has participated as both a speaker and an abstract juror for the Scientific Association of Medical Students, a national initiative aimed at fostering a passion for research among medical students. His contributions in this area highlight his commitment to mentoring the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Dr. Verdejo has also participated actively in the redaction of the first Chilean guidelines for heart failure (HF) treatment, a landmark achievement that provides standardized recommendations for managing this complex condition in clinical practice. Furthermore, he served as Director of the Heart Failure Chapter of SOCHICAR during the period 2018–2019, where he played a key role in advancing the society’s efforts to improve HF care.
Additionally, he has been a regular contributor to the Courses of Preventive Cardiology and Heart Failure, which are organized annually by the Chilean Society of Cardiology (SOCHICAR). These events are vital for disseminating the latest advances in cardiovascular care. Moreover, Dr. Verdejo has extended his outreach efforts by participating in regional meetings organized by local chapters of SOCHICAR, promoting cardiology education and practice across diverse communities in Chile.
