Education
Andreu Massot TarrĆŗs earned his Medical Doctorate in August 2003 from the Universitat AutĆ²noma de Barcelona. He went on to complete his Neurology specialization in May 2009 at the Hospital Universitari Vall dāHebron, Barcelona. In June 2013, he was awarded a PhD Cum Laude in Medicine by the same university for his thesis on intracranial atherostenosis, supervised by Dr. Montaner Villalonga and Dr. Ćlvarez-SabĆn. His commitment to epilepsy research led him to a Clinical and Research Fellowship in Epilepsy and EEG at Western University, Ontario, in 2014, followed by a Master in Epilepsy from the Universidad de Murcia in 2018, where he received an excellent qualification.
Ā Work Experience
Dr. Massot TarrĆŗs’s medical career has spanned several prestigious institutions. Starting as a clinical observer in London (2008), he then became a Senior Neurologist in Barcelona and Madrid, working in the Neurovascular Unit at Vall dāHebron (2009-2010) and the Epilepsy Unit at the JimĆ©nez DĆaz Foundation (2010-2011). Between 2011 and 2021, he took on various senior roles, including at Hospital del Mar and Hospital Universitario Gregorio MaraĆ±Ć³n, Madrid. Since September 2021, he has been a Senior Neurologist and Epileptologist at Hospital Universitari MĆŗtua Terrassa, where he continues to excel in treating neurological disorders, particularly epilepsy.
