recent study conducted by the Latino Center for Health on the Latino physician workforce in Washington revealed that despite Hispanics making up nearly 15% of the state’s population, only about 4% of physicians are of Hispanic descent. As a result, Hispanic
patients may feel disconnected from their physicians.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<b>Lucia Ramirez</b>, R1, wanted to help address this need. To start, she applied for an observership with Dr. Lorena Alarcon-Casas Wright, clinical associate professor (Metabolism, Endocrinology and Nutrition) and founder and director of the LatinX Diabetes
Clinic. “I was able to obtain this observership because Dr. Alarcon-Casas Wright accepted my petition,” said Ramirez. “I believe if more doctors or universities would give international medical graduates this opportunity, they would see the unique skills international
medical graduates offer that can help their program and their patients.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk35011064"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The experience at the UW Medicine Diabetes Institute and the LatinX Diabetes clinic is what sparked Ramirez’s interest in pursuing a residency
in internal medicine. Having more doctors like Ramirez pursue internal medicine and diabetes care is critical, Alarcon-Casas Wright says, so Latinx patients can receive better care that is culturally appropriate.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
