Nuestra Familia

Approximately 90% of our students are Latino, and the majority come from disadvantaged backgrounds. They are driven by a passion to advance healthcare in underserved Latino communities.

"The sense of familia within PRIME-LC is genuinely like no other. Medical school was full of challenges, and my fellow Primers were always the first people I would contact whenever I had good or bad experiences to share. We built collective hope, inspiration, frustrations, resiliency and laughter. You don't come out of PRIME-LC as the same person that came in– you come out better, and it's because of everyone around you!"

~ Jenny Ventura, PRIME-LC Student

"From Chicano Latino Studies courses to the medical rotation in Peru, I am graduating emboldened and equipped to serve the Latino community. Most importantly, with a family of likeminded advocates by my side."
