I'm proud to be a part of the #Latiné community at @vumedicine.bsky.social and to participate in #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay #NLPD. I am fortunate to be able to serve current and future Latino trainees in medicine and science and look forward to continuing as a mentor.

DYK that only 6% of physicians in the United States are Latino, despite Latinos making up 19% of the U.S. population? Having Latinos better represented in medicine is necessary for the Latino community and for the future of medicine in the U.S.

Today, we recognize #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay and celebrate the contributions of Latino physicians to patient care, medical education, research, and communities nationwide. Thank you @repraulruizmd.bsky.social & Rep. Maria Salazar for your leadership in advancing #NLPD!
