Congrats to Paola Arteaga from TouroCOM Middletown on being elected the next Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA) Northeast Lead! Paola says of her new role: "The Latino Medical Student Association is dedicated to connecting current and future physicians through community service, mentorship, and education in advocacy for the medical health of the Hispanic and Latina/o/x community. I decided to run for the LMSA CoDirector Elect position and I am excited and humbled to have been elected. I am looking forward to working with chapters in the NorthEast region to help them reach their goals of better serving the community and prepare them to become culturally competent physicians. My goals are to continue to work alongside the passionate LMSA family to foster diversity in medical schools, advancing mentorship between physicians and students and learning from the Hispanic and Latina/o/x community."
