As a Latino and being part of the Hispanic part of America, I feel that it is a great thing for the United States to celebrate this month, recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements for the United States, the work and the accomplishments of the Latino community. Why do you believe Hispanic Heritage Month is important? I think it is important to consider that Hispanics, in an excellent way, are reshaping the way we do things in all aspects: business, education, etc. I think it is very positive the influence of Hispanic values into the American lives. As a Hispanic, it is important to me to learn from other cultures and backgrounds, just as I want others to learn from our traditions. Does Hispanic heritage influence your work? If so, how? There is nothing that brings greater joy than to care for patients. Caring for people is part of my profession, and being bilingual is advantageous to communicate with patients to ease their fears and concerns. Patients are pleased when they find that I can speak with them in the same language and that Spanish is my first language. Why do you think it is important for people with a Hispanic heritage to be involved in the medical field? There are inspiring leaders, Hispanics that have been working in the advances in medicine and research, life-changing cures, and better care for millions of people and this is incredible. What is your best piece of advice for people with a Hispanic heritage who are pursuing a career in the medical field? Just continue working for a common goal, our patients with excellent service and warmth inspiring more Latinos to pursue careers in the health care profession.
