Dr. Vasquez Guzman is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Family Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University. Her hometown is Portland, Oregon, and she is so excited to have relocated here! Dr. Vasquez Guzman trained at the University of New Mexico, where she specialized in medical sociology, race, and ethnicity. She also had interdisciplinary training in policy as a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Center for Health Policy Fellow. Stela was the recipient of two other prestigious fellowships, including the Satcher Health Leadership Institute Fellowship at Morehouse School of Medicine and the State Partnership Priorities Fellowship at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. These experiences provided additional training in policy, advocacy, and leadership. She is passionate about transforming the face and practice of modern medicine. As a NNACoE team member, Dr. Vasquez Guzman is focused on medical education, cultural competency, bias, health inequities, and the healthcare system. She believes that NNACoE is an amazing program, opening doors of opportunities and changing the system in order to have the next generation of health providers address inequities in medicine, health, and health delivery among populations of color, particularly Native American communities. As a first generation Latinx immigrant Indigenous scholar, Dr. Vasquez Guzman aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice from an equity and inclusion perspective. We all win when we have a compassionate, representative, and humanistic healthcare system. Outside of academia, she loves being outdoors and doing arts and crafts with her family. She also loves going on long walks and watching medical dramas with her husband. Every day is a new opportunity to create a stronger and better tomorrow in medicine.
