I am Associate Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine, Geriatric Division, at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. I am currently the co-fellowship director for the geriatrics Fellowship helping to lead the future genreations of geriatric physicians. I have a passion for teaching new generations about the complexities of caring for older adults, as well as a strong commitment to serve this population. My extensive training in geriatrics allows me to serve older adults in my community in a variety of settings, including community clinics, hospitals and nursing homes. My focus on Latino caregiver communities as an area of research and service stems from my own Latin heritage and cultural interests, and is a response to a demonstrated need within our communities. I am helping to lead geriatric educational initiatives nationally and internationally. I am very active in national and international conferences and interested in partnerships in geriatric education or geriatric research.
