Excellent first podcast episode discussing #Latinx health disparities and underrepresentation of Latinx/Hispanic in medicine.
So proud of @RichardFerro @LMSA_National and all who are supporting his efforts 👏🏽👏🏽
“We are still only about 12% of medical students, about 8% of residents, only about 5-6% of faculty, and very few senior leaders are Hispanic identified. So we need to think about what has been done well to cultivate our advancement, but what are we missing?”
1) Go to Spotify and subscribe to Escucha, @LMSA_National’s new Latinx medical podcast. 1st episode is up. Shout out to @RichardFerro. 🔥
2) Let’s talk about it. Not including P.R., there are 187 med school deans in the U.S.. Only 1 med school dean is Latino. One. 0.5%. #MedEd

It can be serious.
It can be funny.
It can be uplifting.
It can be cautionary.
It can be educational.
It can be about family recipes after a long day of Step 1 studying.
We want this podcast to represent the voice of the medical Latinx community.
