Medical Student
Icahn School of Medicine At Mount Sinai
My name is Jaime Gonzalez, BA, and I am a second-year medical student at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Medical Humanities from Columbia University, and I am developing an interest in Otolaryngology and surgical subspecialties. Before attending medical school, I worked as a Clinical Research Coordinator in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Mount Sinai.
I am currently conducting research in the Department of Otolaryngology–Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Mount Sinai, where I work on projects aimed at improving surgical outcomes and enhancing patient care in head and neck reconstruction.
Outside of research, I serve as a student leader in the Latino Medical Students Association, and I am a certified medical interpreter at the student-run free clinic at Mount Sinai. These roles have allowed me to organize events, mentor incoming students, and further develop my clinical experience with patients from diverse backgrounds and medical conditions.
Gaining early exposure to professionals and trainees in Otolaryngology is a great opportunity to learn from the important conversations in the field. It is rewarding to present at this conference and participate in the discussion.
In the future, I intend to integrate clinical practice with ongoing research and advocacy to make meaningful contributions to the advancement of ENT care. I am honored to be part of this event and grateful for the chance to grow both as a learner and a future clinician.
