Congratulations to UCLA Anderson MD/MBA student Denise Jimenez-Tapia on being chosen as a finalist for the @uclachpr's Health Equity Challenge!

Denise is the co-founder of @lacosechaorg, the first medical student organization at the @dgsomucla focused on the health of farmworkers. La Cosecha trains future health care providers to be allies and advocates for farmworkers while delivering essential health education to farmworkers in order to protect their well-being in the fields.

Our MD/MBA program is one of 8 concurrent degree programs, which allows students like Denise to develop theoretical and practical knowledge in another discipline simultaneously with their MBA studies.

🎉 Meet Diana Castro, one of our inspiring #ElevatingTheSafetyNet medical school scholars! 🩺

Diana has been awarded a full-ride scholarship to medical school, paving the way for her dream of becoming a physician without the financial burden of student debt. Her passion for improving healthcare access and addressing disparities in underserved communities drives her dedication to creating a healthier, more equitable future.

Diana begins her journey at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA (@dgsomucla)—an exciting step toward achieving her goals. 🎓

Through initiatives like #ElevatingTheSafetyNet, L.A. Care is not only increasing the number of physicians in the healthcare safety net but also fostering greater diversity within L.A. County's physician workforce. A diverse healthcare workforce leads to better health outcomes, especially for communities of color.

💛 We are proud to support Diana as she makes her mark in the medical field and empowers others through her work.
