✨ Building Bridges: Latino Excellence in Medicine and Beyond ✨

We had an incredible time at our most recent meeting held at the Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine!

The evening centered on the theme “Building Bridges: Latino Excellence in Medicine and Beyond”, bringing together an inspiring group of practicing physicians and medical students for an open, honest, and uplifting conversation. 💬🩺

We discussed the challenges, celebrated the triumphs, and shared valuable insights on navigating medicine as Latino professionals — all with the goal of uplifting our community and empowering the next generation of healthcare leaders. 🌟

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a success. Let’s continue to build these bridges and support one another as we work toward equity, representation, and excellence in healthcare and beyond.

Celebrate National Latino Physician Day - October 1st -Congratulations to all members and colleagues

Mission Statement:

To address the Latino physician shortage crisis, the mission of National Latino Physician Day is to improve the quality of care for the United States
Latino patient population by increasing the number of Latino physicians who provide culturally and linguistically concordant care.

National Latino Physician Day was established on October 1st as a day to celebrate
Latino/a physicians in the United States, which represent 6% of the physician
workforce while recognizing the critical shortage Latino physicians when compared to
the U.S. Latino population (19%).

We believe that public awareness of this
underrepresentation will generate systemic change and inspire the next generation of Latino physicians.

The Hispanic American Medical Association of Houston is proud to be an ambassador of this day of awareness!!
