Why UCI?

From the faculty to the residents, UCI is really about their mission to care for the underserved, marginalized communities of Southern California. It's a focus on community medicine with the benefit of a world-class academic institution. The residents are like family and have cultivated a positive, inclusive culture that prioritizes well-being. I chose UCI for these reasons as well as the desire to serve mi gente - the Latinx community of SoCal!

Medical Interests:

Full-spectrum Family Medicine, Primary Care for urban underserved populations (especially undocumented immigrants, Latinx, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and people experiencing homelessness), Racism in Medicine, Bioethics, Health Policy, Addiction Medicine, Family Planning, Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hobbies:
