We found that after traumatic injury language minorities experience increased mortality (controlling for patient demographics, mechanism of injury, etc) and hope this work serves as a call to action to do better for our non-English speaking patients #interpreterssavelives

@MariaRoseCastro finds that following traumatic injury, non-English language preferred patients experience increased hospital LOS & in some cases even mortality - work to be done to provide trauma care to vulnerable populations

I'm thankful @UCSFSurgery financially enabled me to present at @EAST_TRAUMA this year, but I know not all SOM/surg departments can, or have annual conference limits!

I was so happy & impressed that EAST had $0 student registration fee (which is not true for all conferences) - so important for equity and enabling more students to receive invaluable mentorship and connections 😃
