So many people told me I couldn’t do it
- single parent household
- raised under the poverty line
- first-gen American
- first-gen college grad
- 1 of 2 Latinos in med school
Yet, today I graduated from medical school
Never count yourself out

Happy National Latino Physician Day!!
To every Latino out there aspiring to wear a white coat, don’t let anyone or anything convince you that you’re not enough. You belong in these spaces, and we need you here. 6% is not enough!

Northwestern Medicine REPRESENTING at the LMSA National Conference! Proud to be part of such a wonderful organization that supports the advancement of my people! @McGawGME@LmsaNational#nc2023lmsa#LMSA
Agree @JohnLeguizamo Can you join us for National Latino Physician Day on October 1st? We are creating awareness (similar to actors) on this crisis.. that 6% Latino doctors is simply not enough for places like California (40% Latino). Join us for the largest movement in Latino Medicine ever #LatinoExcellence ¿Qué dices?

Hearing about a Latina who has a 3.5 GPA (having to work 20 hours a week) at an Ivy League school and is being actively discourage from applying to medical school by advisors is exactly the reason why this system is biased, inequitable and needs to be reconstructed. That’s coming from a plastic surgeon.

To all my Latinx M4s currently in the residency application process, I know how isolating this experience can be. I remember how lost I often felt having been the first in my fam to do it
If I can be of any assist to you or provide any guidance, plz don’t hesitate to reach out!
First week of residency in the books!(L&D nights)
