It was surreal to shadow physicians at my hometown's clinic earlier this month. They were making potentially life-altering decisions with patients from my neighborhood. I can't wait to be their colleague! Futura #LatinasinMedicine

My mom's village in Mexico had one elementary school when she was little. It's a big reason why I grew up knowing I would go to college, and what continues to motivate me to pursue medicine.

Meet Hilda. I was one of her doctors. When she died, she left 2 sons behind. My grief about her situation brought anger and then determination.

Is not fear what kills the mind…what kills the mind is not being prepared to face fears and not acknowledging we have them.

No es el miedo lo que mata la mente… lo que mata la mente es no estar preparado para enfrentar esos miedos y no reconocer que los tenemos…#neurosurgery
