Being able to communicate with increasingly diverse patient communities is a key to success for physicians-in-training.

In a unique, community-based course, every day over the course of a month Harvard Medical School students are learning Spanish directly from elderly native Spanish-speaking tutors. The intensive medical Spanish course is designed to help students become better prepared to serve all of the patients they will someday see.

In such a position, this rising fourth-year medical student and first-year MBA candidate says he would effect change both small and large: improving how operating rooms function, and “instituting changes from an administrative perspective” that would address socioeconomic inequalities. All with the goal of changing how health care is delivered.
