Eduardo was born and raised in the border town of Laredo, TX, and spent his childhood between Mexico and the US. He came to New England in 2008, when he was accepted into the Program in Liberal Medical Education at Brown University, where he majored in Human Biology: Brain and Behavior and completed his medical degree. He took a couple of years off before starting medical school to work as a medical scribe in the emergency department of Rhode Island Hospital which cemented his desire to become a physician. Eduardo is interested in the combined Family Medicine/Psychiatry program because of its holistic focus and the overlap between both specialties. He has been involved in various community interventions including faith-based classes on hypertension and using games to teach teenage boys social skills, and hopes to be able to work with the patient community at BMC to better serve their needs both inside and outside of the clinic. He has also led a Medical Spanish Interest Group for two years and is fluent in Spanish. Outside of medicine, Eduardo enjoys board games, cooking, yoga, Latin dancing, and exploring the city for new interesting spots!
