This year's recipient of the Perla S. Gil, MD Scholarship is Valentina Vargas Marin, a fourth-year medical student at The University of Queensland Medical School - Ochsner. 🏆 The scholarship supports Hispanic women, a traditionally underrepresented medical field group. Valentina was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and grew up in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood in South Florida. Her community's dedication to helping those less fortunate ignited her passion for assisting people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds in Latin America. Throughout college, she actively engaged with the MedLife Movement, volunteered at free clinics and served as a translator for Hispanic patients. The Perla S. Gil, MD Scholarship is generously supported by an endowed fund established in honor of Dr. Perla S. Gil, a trailblazing physician born in Santiago, Cuba, with a distinguished career in anesthesiology. Congratulations, Valentina! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g3TwyNAH
