About Dr Lucas
Dr. Lucas Alvarenga Berto is a physician who graduated from Universidade José do Rosário Vellano (UNIFENAS, Brazil), with his degree recognised in Portugal by the University of Porto and authorisation to practise medicine independently in Portugal. He is currently completing a Master's degree in Exercise and Health at Universidade Lusófona do Porto, training that deepens his integrated approach to health, prevention and physical performance.
His clinical experience combines three complementary areas: emergency medicine, internal medicine and telemedicine. In Portugal, he worked at well-established institutions such as ULS Matosinhos and Trofa Saúde, at the Alfena and Bonfim units, where he gained solid experience in emergency settings and acute care of high clinical demand. He also has experience in general clinical practice, family medicine, sports medicine and the follow-up of athletes.
He completed his medical residency in Internal Medicine, with clinical rotations in cardiology, intensive care, nephrology, infectious diseases and family medicine, carried out in Brazil, Portugal and France, a multidisciplinary exposure across three different healthcare systems that gives him a broad and well-contextualised clinical perspective.
He holds a certification in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) from the American Heart Association and actively takes part in scientific congresses, keeping himself continuously up to date and committed to evidence-based medicine.
His training in sports medicine and his ongoing Master's degree in Exercise and Health make him a physician particularly well placed for patients who want to bring together health, prevention and physical activity within a coherent medical approach, not just treating symptoms, but supporting health in its broadest sense.
