Abstract | Philip Ramirez, a first-year medical student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), shares the range of personal and professional experiences that fostered his interests in the health disparities that many Latinos face. As president of UNC’s chapter of the Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA), Ramirez discusses one of the major contributors to this health disparity: underrepresentation of Latinos in the health care professions. Through his moral standpoint on healthcare, his experience as an Army medic, and his desire to both become a physician and pursue a Masters in Business Administration, he provides a unique perspective into some ways to improve disparities in access to healthcare for Latinos. |
