UAB Green and Told

On this episode, we welcome Joseph Martinez, a doctor just weeks away from starting his first position at East Alabama Medical Center. As Joseph will share, his journey is one similar to a fantasy, a story that begins with his Mexican immigrant parents. Despite a strong determination to find success, he will explain why he didn't feel he fit in when he started medical school. Plus, Dr. Martinez will pass along his advice to other first generation Americans who are looking to live out their fantasies.
