Alejandro Casillas
Alejandro Casillas is a second year medical student at the Keck School of Medicine at USC. He followed an untraditional path in his education, but it was this very path and his background that gave him inspiration for involvement in minority health issues. As an immigrant who grew up in the ethnic enclave of a city that is a designated Physician Shortage Area, with neighboring rural areas, he has seen firsthand the cultural barriers to healthcare. The purpose of his participation in the MHC is that he now wishes to obtain the knowledge and keys to implement change. His education includes attending Empire College, where he trained to become a California Certified Medical Assistant. He then worked as an ER Technician at the local hospital trauma center, while continuing his education at Santa Rosa Junior College. There, he obtained his Associates Degree and then transferred to UCLA. Due to his continued interest in Emergency Medicine, Alejandro continued his involvement at the UCLA Emergency Medical Center. Alejandro graduated from UCLA, double majoring in Physiological Science and Biology. Due to his interest in gaining a better understanding of the growing elderly population that physicians will be faced with, he also obtained a minor in gerontology. After graduating, Alejandro took some time off and got married. Ready to return to school, he then participated in the challenging UCSF post-baccalaureate program. Alejandro is currently the newly elected LMSA Co-Chair, and SNMA Historian. Some of his activities with these organizations have included involvement in Educacion Primero and Tom Bradley Elementary School programs. -
