Dr Alberto Romero Galán, is a specialist in family and community medicine, and a mentor for clinical ultrasound in Spain as a member of the ultrasound group of the Spanish Society of General and Family Medicine (SEMG). He is also registered as an IMC (Irish Medical Council) specialist in Ireland.

He works as a GP in out-of-hours services in Ireland and serves as a GP in the Irish Army in the barracks in Kilkenny. Alberto participates as a teacher of clinical ultrasound courses in person in Spain, with several in person courses during the year. One of them is of long duration (100 hours) and is held twice a year, offering students continuous teaching for several days, with direct supervision, and practical and theoretical classes. The rest of the courses are usually subject specific (neck, abdomen, musculoskeletal…).

Alberto was born in Huelva (Spain), where he grew up and was educated until he moved to Seville to study Medicine. Once he finished his medical degree, he moved to Salamanca, where he did his specialized training period (equivalent to residency) as a family doctor, using ultrasound as a key tool in his practice for the study of patients. After that he worked as a doctor in a primary care center, until he moved to Ireland in 2022. This did not stop his training in ultrasound, which he has kept active in Spain and has allowed him to become a mentor.

He enjoys reading, especially crime novels. His love for ultrasound has made its study into a hobby, as well. He also loves paddle tennis, ping-pong, board games, and soccer. He likes to travel, and his current job and situation allow him to do it often.
