My name is Vítor Veríssimo. I graduated in Medicine from the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Universidade Nova de Lisboa in 2006. After a year of general practice at the Santarém District Hospital, I joined the Amora Health Center, later the Amora Saudável Family Health Unit, in the Seixal council, where I completed my specialty in General and Family Medicine and began following a list of patients. During my four years of further training, I attended the addiction clinic at the Cruz de Pau center, where toxic dependencies and other addictions, including smoking, were treated. I also worked as a doctor in the permanent medical service at Hospital da Luz.
In 2016, I started working in the General and Family Medicine service at Hospital da Luz and at the Health Care Unit belonging to the TAP group. In 2020, I started working at Teladoc, providing telephone medical advice.
I completed the 16th practical smoking intervention course taught by the Portuguese Institute of Psychology and Other Sciences.
