Meet Victor Rodriguez
|
Victor H. Rodriguez is a Mexican-American student from Austin, Texas. He is a 4th year medical student at Texas A&M University College of Medicine.
What drew me to originally was my curiosity for the sciences. However, I slowly realized how health disparities impacted my community. I want to take action, so I went into public health to learn how to effect change community level and I went into medicine to be able to work with individuals as well.
Being a part of LMSA Southwest and LMSA National has given me a support network and family that I needed in medical school. There is something to say about having shared experiences with people in this journey. Moreover, having upperclassmen and doctors connect to people or events that will help you reach your goals has been an invaluable experience. It shows that they want to see you thrive! Not having family in this profession and being lost most times has made medicine difficult, but LMSA changed that and I hope I can do the same for others.
Some of the things I enjoy outside of medicine include: spending time with my loved ones, playing the multiple instruments I own, cooking, running, working out, and relaxing watching TV.
