Congratulations to our 2020-2021 Dr. José Ignacio Choca Scholarship winners! Our second winner is Sergio Gonzalez.

A little about him.

Sergio worked in microbiology/molecular biology research before attending medical school. His experience in biology led him to pursue medicine, and his interest in the intersectionality of science and the humanities through the art of storytelling—and connecting people’s stories— has given him a lifelong pursuit for understanding how scientific discovery is only possible through connectivity, and the same can be said of the human experience. He first became interested in medicine when he started volunteering as an interpreter at a free clinic in Chicago. As a first-generation college student, he understands the importance of language as a fundamental contributor to the relationship between social strata and health. He strives for the continued growth of his role from volunteer interpreter, to student doctor volunteer, to one day being a physician that serves as an advocate and voice for those in need of medical care. In his free time, he loves to garden, read, drink coffee, and is a novice in woodworking.

We wish you all the best in accomplishing your goals, Sergio, and we can’t wait to have you back on campus!

Congratulations to our 2020-2021 Dr. José Ignacio Choca Scholarship winners! Our first winner is Karla Sintigo Monterroza.

A little about her.

“I am originally from El Salvador, but I also grew up in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I attended Hendrix College in Conway, AR and graduated with a B.A. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. For my specialty, I am interested in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine.”

We wish you all the best in accomplishing your goals, Karla, and we can’t wait to have you on campus!
