6% is not enough. Today, we celebrate #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay. Having Latinos better represented in medicine is crucial for our communities to improve the significant health care barriers, inequalities, and poorer outcomes in the Latino population.

We know that Latinos and Latinas are severely underrepresented in medicine. We know that the assisting staff in clinics/hospitals are mostly Latino (they are many times speaking the language) however the physicians are not. That’s why we have created this movement. We don’t need articles to know because it’s our lived experience. Please join the NLPD movement!
