Izkia Jasvin Siches Pastén (born 4 March 1986 in Arica) is a Chilean doctor and president of the Chilean Medical College [es], an influential medical association.[1]

Early life

She was born on 5 March 1986 in Arica[2][3] and grew up in Maipú, Santiago Metropolitan Region.[2] She studied at the Bernardo O'Higgins Institute in Maipú.[4]

In 2004 she began studying medicine at the University of Chile. During this period she was a member of the Communist Youth of Chile.[5] She was a member of the University Senate during the period from 2010 to 2012. Previously, she was president of the School of Medicine West Campus student center, and adviser to the University of Chile Student Federation (Federación de Estudiantes de la Universidad de Chile).[6] She helped create the journal Hippocampus: Where memory is stored, dreams arise (Hipocampo, donde se guarda la memoria surgen los sueños).[7]

Career

After she graduated as a surgeon, she specialized in internal medicine and began studying for a master's in public health. Since 2014 she has worked in the infectious diseases unit of San Juan de Dios Hospital in Quinta Normal.[2]

In 2014 she was president of the Santiago Regional Council of the Chilean Medical College (Colegio Médico de Chile). Two years later she joined the organization Médicos sin Marca. In 2017 she was chosen as president of the Chilean Medical College, making her the first woman to serve in this role.[2] El Mercurio reported that she had ties to the Broad Front political coalition,[8] but she distanced herself from politics, saying that she prefers to stay on the sidelines and that her medical association includes people with varied political views: Template:Cita

In 2020 during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile, she played a major role due to her position as president of the Medical College, making recommendations for how to better contain the virus.[9][10][11] She questioned the government's handling of the crisis, which led to disagreements with officials.[12][13] Her approval rating became one of the highest among Chilean public figures during the pandemic,[14] and she was discussed as a possible presidential candidate for the 2021 election, though she dismissed the possibility of a run due to lack of experience.[15][1]

In December 2020, she ran for reelection in the Chilean Medical College. The election had a historically high participation rate (68.76%), and Siches won with 51,78% of the vote.[16][17][18]

She identifies as a feminist, and through her position as president of the Medical College she has urged respect for women's rights, gender equality, and protocols to stop abuse and harassment. She has also participated in rallies including on International Women's Day.[19][20][21]

Recognition

She was selected as Person of the Year in 2020 by the Association of International Press Correspondents in Chile (Asociación de Corresponsales de Prensa Internacional en Chile), for "turning herself into a figure of importance, achieving high levels of public trust and credibility".[22][23]

In 2021, Time magazine included her on its list of 100 rising stars shaping the future.[24][1] In March 2021, she received the Exceptional Women of Excellence award from the Women Economic Forum.[25]

Personal life

She is married to Christian Antonio Yaksic Zúñiga.[26]
