Sinopse
From Dr. Paola Mina-Osorio, Hispanic author of the successful books Un Doctor Por Favor: Why We Need More Hispanic Doctors in the US and Hispanic Role Models in Science: Advice for Future Scientists, comes the new children's book Aurora la Doctora.
This book narrates the real-life story of the girl who inspired Dr. Mina-Osorio's entire Hispanics in Medicine and Science series. Based on a real-life story, Aurora la Doctora is about an immigrant student bullied in school because of her poor English skills. Her dear sister Sofi gets seriously ill, forcing Aurora to help her parents navigate Sofi's care, often serving as an interpreter. This experience shows Aurora how her improving language and cultural skills can help others in her community who do not have access to Spanish-speaking doctors.
Despite the heartbreaking words of her school counselor who tells her that she is not "college material," Aurora discovers that her heritage is her superpower. In real life, Aurora is training to become a primary care doctor, looking to practice medicine in areas with high Hispanic and Latinx populations.
The book tells a story of self-discovery and courage that allows Aurora to overcome negative feedback.
Only six percent of medical school matriculants are Hispanic or Latino. Listen to this book with a loved one so we can change the statistics together!
