Medical Student from United States
Gladys, how long you've been studying and which areas of medicine you're focusing on?
I'm a third-year medical student at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, with a strong interest in dermatology particularly in addressing skin health disparities among underrepresented communities. I'm part of the UCLA PRIME-LA program, a dual-degree track that combines medicine with a focus on health equity. Alongside my medical training, I'm also pursuing an MBA to better understand healthcare systems and expand access to dermatologic care.
When do you expect to finish university?
I'm on track to graduate in 2027 after completing both degrees.
