Without a school diploma, he took 13 tests to obtain the certificate and finally start the course.
During the pandemic, he worked on the front lines, putting into practice everything he had learned, which further reinforced his medical vocation.

Today, José Victor inspires his three younger siblings to follow their own paths.
Moreover, the Social Medical Center project represents the desire to amplify this example, bringing health, dignity, and hope to the residents of Itabaiana.
With his dedication and empathy, he shows that medicine can be more than a profession: a commitment to the collective good and a way to transform lives through human care.
