Beschreibung
Have you been told by someone that a career in medicine is not right for you?
Are you a Hispanic/Latino parent, teacher, or counselor, and is your child or student considering a career in medicine?
Authored by a Hispanic doctor and scientist, ¡Un Doctor, Por Favor! was inspired by a Hispanic student who was told by her school counselor that she was "not college material." This real-life story, which is followed in the book, is but one example of the difficulties faced by young Hispanics trying to enter the medical field. ¡Un Doctor, Por Favor! provides an overview of the complex health and educational challenges faced by Hispanics in the U.S., and presents it both by the numbers-aggregating current research in an understandable format-and beyond the numbers through real people's struggles and successes. The book contains stories of Hispanic physicians who have achieved their goals despite the difficulties. Their stories illustrate what can be achieved with courage and perseverance.
In this book, you'll discover:
- Dozens of links to websites with information for students aspiring to a career in medicine
- The real-life story of success of a Hispanic student who was told by her counselor that she was "not college material"
- Real-life stories of Hispanic physicians who have achieved their goals despite the difficulties. Their stories illustrate what can be achieved with courage and perseverance
- Demographic data presented in an easy-to-understand manner, and enhanced with more than 50 graphs and illustrations
- "Key takeaways" sections that summarize each chapter in a few bullet points for those who don't have time to read the whole book
Only 6% of medical school matriculants are Hispanic. Together we can change the statistics. Si se puede!
