Today is my first day of medical school at @StanfordMed and I am beyond excited to be here ❤️ Here are some photos from my 🥼 & 🩺 Ceremony last Friday, I had the honor of being white-coated (is that a verb?) by @fdjperez

Yesterday I attended @StanfordMed’s Health Equity Symposium 🩺 I met the amazing @uche_blackstock and learned from @RushMedical’s CEO, Omar Lateef, that health equity is possible, it is just expensive! May we in medicine remember and remind others of this attainability 🙏🏻

Update - I did!

If Dr. Oz can oversee Medicare and Medicaid, I can pass this Biochem Final 🫡

Biochem final this Thursday - only thing carrying me is #RHOBH premier dropping today, #lvmurakami collab coming in Jan 2025, and a dream

@lorena49996694 Thank you!

@AXP1x1 @StanfordMed Most importantly, I don’t judge ppl based on their background I deserve to be at Stanford, I will do everything I can to change this racist/worn-out myth. I am smart, hardworking & qualified. And I am going to be a doctor I pray that Jesus softens your cruel & hateful heart 🙏🏻

@AXP1x1 @StanfordMed I have white skin & I put white on all my questionnaires b/c race & ethnicity are 2 diff things. I’m a white Latina. 👩🏻‍⚕️ I never once said white students are the most advantaged. I said wealthy students. My class is 50%+ Asian and only 10% Latinx - wake up to the actual stats.

@AXP1x1 @StanfordMed This is a harmful myth - it is actually the COMPLETE opposite Admissions favors students whose parents are wealthy (can study for the MCAT full time, network) - this is typically not students of color Comment from your real account and we’ll have a truly enlightening discussion

@JasonAndrewsMD Thank you so much for sharing!!

If you don’t believe me, I encourage you to read my Princeton Senior Thesis:

Happy National Latino/a Physician Day! How can we provide culturally/linguistically competent care to the 40% of Latinos in CA, the 25% of Latinos around #stanford , and 18% of Latinos nationally? We need more than 6% of physicians to be Latino/o! #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay

@mgracec__ It’s actually so fun! I did this last year and made friends!

@mgracec__ 100% agree
