Tesis Defense

I had the honor of sitting on my first Spanish Doctoral Tesis Defense.


Pedro Marin was an exchange student in the United States last year and recently completed his doctoral work. The Court, as it is called in Europe, was comprised of Dr. Juan Carlos Calado (University of Valencia), Dr. Daniel Forte (UEM), Dr. David Garcia (University of Leon), Dr. Jonathan Forte (UEM) and I. The Tribunal was held at the Universidad Europea de Madrid.


The proceedings are a little more formal than I have been accustomed to, but it made the experience all that more memorable. Pedro did a fabulous job defending the five studies that comprised his Tesis titled "Efectos neurofisiológicos y de rendimiento de una serie de intervenciones con estimulación neuromuscular mecànica ". He passed with honors and then took "The Court" out for a wonderful lunch, as is their tradition.


Congratulations to Dr. Pedro J. Marin!
