September 8-13 is Hispanic Serving Insitutions week. Join us in this special visit by Irvin Garcia Real and Alexis Aleman, the "Foos In Medicine."
Two UCLA Medical Students (Irvin Garcia Real and Alexis Aleman) founded Foos in Medicine, a social media community of over half a million followers, with the mission of inspiring people from disadvantage backgrounds to pursue their dreams. Along the journey, they have faced their fair share of obstacles on the path to medicine, from growing up in in low income and immigrant households to struggling alongside institutional barriers that underrepresented minorities often face in higher education. Through their signature humor and their advocacy work these ‘foos’ are committed to inspiring others and increasing the representation in the medicine, STEM, and healthcare space. Foos in Medicine strives to positively impact the communities that have been often overlooked.
