Got the chance to go back as a med student to the health clinic I grew up going to in my underserved community. Thankful everyday to be working towards my dreams. #Medstudent #dgsom #cdu #medschool #southLA

It was super fun giving gifts to kids today at Charles Drew University’s and UCLA/Drew SNMA’s Project Santa Claus 2021. Can’t wait for next year’s!#cdu #dgsom

Can’t thank the heart and kidneys enough! 😭

Spoke to middle schoolers from Carson with some classmates David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA ! We hope we instilled some inspiration in them as they prepare to take on high school! Future dgsom med students in 8 years! #futureofmedicine #MedTwitter #medicalschool #MedStudentTwitter

About to start my last preclinical block tomorrow! It’s been a wild ride so far but I’m so grateful to have homies like Alexis Alemán always pushing me and inspiring me to do better. This guy straight up carried me through our las anatomy practical. I thought I was gonna fail 😅

As first-generation high school, college and medical students, it has been a wild ride to get to where we are. We’re about to start the last block of pre-clinicals in medical school and still feels surreal to be here. It can get tough at times but we all got this! Irvin

Latinos should not be the only ones posting about National Latino Physician Day. We’ll never address the disproportionately low 6% Latinx physicians that exist in the US if we’re the only ones highlighting the issue. #NLPD #MedTwitter

Happy NLPD to all Latinx Physicians out there paving the way for students like myself! Thank you for persevering and working hard for our communities forming only 6% of physicians. We are working to get the number up! Michael Galvez, MD #foosinmedicine #NationalLatinxPhysicianDay

OBGYN is underhyped! This rotation has been very interesting and fun! 🥼
