I am one of the 2.4% of Latina physicians in the US. Each time a patient tells me “gracias a dios que hablas español”, “finalmente entendemos”, “confiamos en ti“ I am resolute in my mission to increase the number of Latino/a/e physicians. Join us! #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay
It’s time for solutions. Academic centers have a social responsibility in training a workforce reflective of their patient populations.
In CA 48% of births are in Latinas, yet only 2% of physicians are Latinas? Por favor !
The time for actionable steps is now. #nationallatinophysicianday @acgme

87% of Shine participants graduate high school. 53% of Shine participants pursue postsecondary education compared to 2% of young mothers nationally. I am so inspired by this organization and the incredible mothers we met! It was an honor to speak alongside you @SBonifacioNeo
