Any Latinos/Hispanics premeds or med students out there?

[reinventing]

Hi, I surprisingly have met about one person with the same ambition as me in college. So, I wanted to know who else out there is pursuing medicine as a Latino/Hispanic. I have hope to see physicians like me in the medical field or those on the same boat as me. I would also like to bring support to those who are still in undergrad as a postgrad that is trying to plan out their gap years (I would like to tell my mistakes I made so that others can pursue this with more guidance).

I am in a class of 275 at one of the best DO schools and there's maybe 8 latinos and none came straight out of undergrad

This is amazing! I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that's not coming out of undergrad

Just making sure you all connect with any Latinx affinity support groups. National Hispanic Medical Association and Home - The Latino Medical Student Association for sure.

I am a Latino in medicine, currently, an M4 who took 2 years between graduation and medical school and also took the MCAT twice, but now applying to ENT! Happy to chat or give support!
