Ricardo Ferral, MD

• Medical School: Universidad Autonoma de Tamaulipas Facultad de Medicina de Tampico Dr. Alberto Romo Caballero, Mexico
• Interests: biking, hiking, long walks, soccer, listening to podcasts. I like reading and learning new things, especially about popular science and philosophy, but also other topics. I am passionate about film and my free time is often spent watching Youtube videos on movie analysis. My fellowships of interest are still in development, but so far GI, neuropathology, and GYN are my top contenders.
• Favorite spot in Portland: Up to this point, I've ventured to Council Crest, a fantastic spot where you have an incredible 360-degree view of Portland and the neighboring mountains. The hike to reach it is near OHSU, so you don't even have to travel that far to be surrounded by nature and beautiful scenery. However, my exploration has just started and I can't wait to seek out more adventures!
• Fun Fact: When I was four or five years old, a lion cub bit my right buttock! Also, born out of a local legend, my hometown of Tampico is known in Mexico for being a hide-out place for UFOs. The conspiracy theory gets crazier the more you dig into it, to the point where aliens control the local weather! Most people (including myself) take this jokingly, but many fellow "Tampicoans" are very serious about this!
