A life of meaning and purpose
Camilo Alvarez & Dan Hudson
Camilo was motivated to pursue a career in healthcare, inspired by his father-an educated man who held three college degrees, including one in nursing. His father's experiences, including working under the Castro regime and subsequently joining the resistance before defecting to Puerto Rico and ultimately settling in Los Angeles, deeply influenced him. Yet, it was his father's quest to find meaning and purpose in life that ultimately guided Camilo towards a career in healthcare. Edit credit: Sean Collins

    So you want black patients to be only treated by black doctors and white patients to be cared for by only white doctors instead of decreasing implicit bias in both patients and doctors so patients feel comfortable with all physicians regardless of skin color? Knock yourselves out!
