Dr. Clara Epstein: Increasing Latin@ Presence in the Medical Field
Over the years, ¿Qué Pasa, OSU? has served as the vehicle to learn more about people and stories that deserve acknowledgment and recognition. Several months ago, we learned about Dr. Clara Epstein; a neurosurgeon, Clinical Instructor and House Staff Physician in the Department of Neurological Surgery at The Ohio State University Medical Center.
Epstein is internationally recognized in her professional field and also has a leadership role in promoting cultural awareness and increasing access to Latin@s in their medical career.
Epstein’s experience includes two clinical post-graduate fellowships in Stroke and Cerebrovascular Disorders, and in Clinical Stereotactic Radiosurgery/Neurosurgery. She has authored numerous scientific papers and professional publications and has held various leadership positions in national and international organizations aimed at the betterment and development of neurosurgery and, more specifically, of Latin@ women in the field.
