Introducing Christian Hernandez, MD, a dedicated advocate and thought leader in health care. Here’s why his journey is one you should know: Growing up as the son of immigrants from Mexico and Puerto Rico in a predominantly Latine and Black community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Dr. Hernandez has dedicated his life to serving and uplifting his community. He draws inspiration from his experiences with #HealthDisparities and language barriers, which have fueled his passion for improving health care access for underrepresented populations. Currently an emergency medicine resident physician at UCLA Health, he has been matched to a fellowship in anesthesia and critical care at Los Angeles General Medical Center and ultimately aspires to contribute to academia and further medical research, particularly in the cardiothoracic ICU. Dr. Hernandez's advocacy work is truly inspiring. From studying trauma responses and the emotional impact of domestic violence on men to researching tropical diseases and snakebite interventions, Dr. Hernandez has made significant strides in the health field. His contributions to understanding conditions affecting Latino men, such as those needing lung transplants due to silica dust exposure, showcase his commitment to advancing medical knowledge and patient care. Dr. Hernandez is a visionary, whose dedication to service and community is nothing short of remarkable in his medical career and personal life. As a wilderness enthusiast, scuba diver, and #ChangeAgent in the health field, there is nothing that Dr. Hernandez can't do. Read more about Dr. Hernandez: https://lnkd.in/gXhtbijx
