Programming Coordinator

Priscila is a fifth-year medical student at Instituto Tecnológico de Santo Domingo (INTEC) in Dominican Republic. She was the president of her university’s chapter for the American Medical Student Association during the 2019-2020. In the course of that year she organized several activities that developed the professional and personal skills of the medical student body. Like the the suicide prevention month, where she addressed topics such as toxic relationships; suicide in the LGTB+ community; childhood trauma, and its effects; as well as the environmental impact in mental health. During her fourth year of medical school she created an online community called Balanced Physicians which is currently functioning. Her main goal with this project was to allow Spanish-speaking medical students to develop the skill set and mindset to triumph in the medical world. Priscila is passionate about teaching and sharing what she knows in a wide range of topics. In her free time, you will find her reading about wellness, practicing yoga, looking for adventures or enjoying coffee with her friends.
