Super excited to do research this summer under @joshuapalmermd’s mentorship at @OhioStateRadOnc! ☺️ Very grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to keep gaining further exposure to this field!
ASTRO is pleased to announce the 10 recipients of the 2024 Medical Student Fellowship awards! These awards introduce medical students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine to the discipline of #RadOnc early in their medical education. ow.ly/UWEQ50RzBSr

Tomorrow is National Latino Physician Day. October 1st to create the awareness that only 6% of doctors are Latino in the United States. Well over 25 live events across the country. We are highlighting the worsening physician shortage in the United States. We are highlighting Latino patients that have more barriers to healthcare. Please support these efforts tomorrow by engaging and looking at the data. Check out our website nationallatinophysicianday.c…

In med school, I learned that Huntington's disease was one of the most devastating inherited conditions. It caused progressive neurological decline, starting around age 30. There was no treatment. Now, Huntington's has been treated for first time.
This is why we fund science.
Just wrapped up my first #ASTRO24!
Thankful for the opportunity to have met inspiring leaders in RadOnc, make lifelong connections & friends, and engage in some amazing science with brilliant minds.
Best field, best specialty, best people.
Can’t wait for San Fran next year!
This is why diversity in medicine MATTERS. The med student imposter syndrome hits hard sometimes, but meeting some of these leaders in the field (who look like me!!) was such an amazing experience at #ASTRO2024 and has re-invigorated my purpose as a #LatinaInMedicine ❤️
National Latino Physician Day #ASTRO24
In the U.S. Latino/a/e/x are greater than 19% of population but 6% of physicians.
In #RadOnc we are 5.6% of residents & 2% of practicing physicians.

My first time at #ASTRO2024 @ASTRO_org 🥹
Having the best time meeting people in the best specialty and reaffirming that this is what I want to do when I grow up!
Hi #RadOnc friends! I’ll be attending my first #ASTRO2024 next week and would love any and all advice on how to make the most of my time as a medical student attendee!

I downloaded an extension to my Google chrome to play lectures faster than 2x speed and have been consistently watching things at 3x speed for a while. I think med school has ruined my brain. Now I feel like everyone around me talks too slow 😅

If I could memorize spinal tracts half as fast as I can memorize new Taylor Swift lyrics, I’d be top of my med school class 😅

Studying for my 2nd med school exam tomorrow and reflecting on #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay. There are only 5 (including me) Latinx students in my class of 250+.
We need more Latinx-identifying physicians to better serve our communities. 6% is NOT enough!

Proud to be part of the 2.4% Latinas in medicine. Representation matters.

Dear Latino pre-meds, med students and doctors,
You may be the only Latino pre-med, med students or doctor in your program.
It’s ok to acknowledge that the medical system was not initially built for minorities and our community’s needs.
There are allies within the system, you have a family of support waiting for you.
National Latino Physician Day is creating awareness about the Latino physician shortage crisis and highlighting the social responsibility that medical schools / hospitals have in improving this shortage.

My med school hosted the annual Body Donor Memorial Service today and it was truly one of the most humbling and impactful experiences I’ve ever had.
