Episode 3: Dr. Irene Blanco (Rheumatologist, Associate Dean of Diversity Enhancement)
In Episode 3, I interview Einstein’s Associate Dean of Diversity Enhancement and practicing rheumatologist Dr. Irene Blanco. We get a chance to discuss her experiences as the only person of color in educational spaces, some of the challenges she faces being a Latina in medicine, and what drew her to the subspecialty of rheumatology (a field that treats predominantly women of color).
