Ep141 | MS4 Perspective: Internal Medicine-Pediatrics

In this 4th year medical student (MS4) series, we chat about the field of Internal Medicine-Pediatrics. Our guest, Bran Garcia, shares advice on how to set yourself up for success regarding matching into this unique specialty and shares tips to help you stand out both on paper and in person.

Brian Garcia, MD was born in Mexico City and immigrated to the United States at the age of 10. He grew up in a border town in south Texas, where he attended high school and completed his undergraduate education at Texas A&M International University. Growing up in a border town, he experienced the unique blend of Mexican American culture highlighted by its unique cuisine, traditions, and people. However, he also witnessed health disparities that exist within low-income communities.

Prior to medical school, Brian worked in construction where he learned valuable lessons about resilience and hard work, while noticing the detrimental effects on people’s health due to lack of access to care as well as the language barrier that exists between Spanish-speaking immigrants and physicians. These experiences inspired Brian to pursue a career in medicine. During medical school, he focused on finding ways to extend access to care among low-income communities and minorities. Brian chose to pursue a specialty in Internal Medicine-Pediatrics because it allows him to treat patients of all ages while also working and learning from colleagues in other specialties. Brian is now an Internal Medicine-Pediatrics resident at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York.
