UVA School Medicine celebrating today the National Latino Physician Day. 6% of physicians in the US being Latinos is not enough to bring cultural competency in the caring of 20% of our communities that are Latinos. Let’s foster and support all youth into this noble profession!
@uvahcdi @UVaGMEO@uvahealthnews@UVAMedAlum@UVADiversity@HUDgov Congratulations HCDI! Highlighting the importance of an SDOH like safe and affordable housing in matters of DEI for a health system. I’m so sorry I missed it as I was participating in @NHMAmd meetings.
@NephTushar @UVANeph@KDSAPatUVA Thank you @UVANeph for your service. It was great to see people, more all levels, interested in Latinx kidney health, from undergrad students to the chief of the Division. . What a team! @KDSAPatUVA looking forward to bringing your protocol to the Latinx community soon!!
@PRodriguezMD@AngieNishioMd@ChrisKramerMD@CardioUva@UVACardsFellows@VSoukoulis It was great to have seen team members from all backgrounds on one mission, evaluation of CVD and DM risk, education and facilitating affordable medical follow up as needed to 60 community members. One of many health services offered at the Latinx Health Fair. Thank you all!
What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.
Exciting news! UVA to offer leadership training and travel scholarship to URiM 4th year medical students. More information can be found here: https://t.co/eTd6lUQZlT
@common_sensedoc Congrats Mike, well deserved. Most importantly, the principles and content of your mentorship will likely make a huge difference to many.
@srobgyn@fairfaxhealth@NHMAmd Congratulations Sergio! I’m sure you know that the best reward is having protected so many people, particularly the underserved. Un abrazo!
@UvaDOM@uvahealthnews@CardioUva Such a rewarding experience with community and colleagues. Health fairs connect us with the people so that we can connect them with structured and longitudinal health care. Thank you to so many people that came to share their time and expertise!!
