Great blog and call to action by @normapollphd from @AAMCtoday on the importance of Latinx in medicine and what we can do. #SiSePuede
While 19% of people in the U.S. are Latino, only 6% of physicians are. As @normapollphd writes, Latino physicians offer more than medical treatment — they build bridges, provide culturally sensitive care, and are more likely to serve underserved areas.
