🌟 Celebrating Latino Heritage Month 🌟

Dr. Jorge Galante (1922–1994) revolutionized joint replacement 🦴✨, pioneering cementless hip & knee implants that transformed orthopedic care worldwide. As the first Chair of Ortho at Rush, he built a legacy of innovation, mentorship, and compassion that continues to impact millions.

✨ AALOS focuses on honoring heritage through healing. By breaking barriers in orthopedics, we create space for Latino excellence, mentorship, and representation in medicine.

🩺 Today is National Latino Physician Day — a moment to recognize and honor the incredible contributions of Latino physicians across the country.
📊 Latinos represent only 3% of the orthopaedic surgery workforce — whereas 20% of the US population is Latino. We at AALOS are proud to advance musculoskeletal health in our community.
💪🏽 AALOS proudly supports and uplift Latino voices in orthopaedics — today and every day.

Get to know Andrea Roca our next featured match of 2025. She graduated from Nova Southeastern university Dr Kiran C Patel College of Allopathic Medicine and matched Larkin Community Hospital in Miami, FL. She was also a 2024 AALOS UNIDOS scholar!

In her own words:
“My path to orthopedics started later than most, and without a home program, finding opportunities was a challenge. But I didn’t let that stop me. I took a research year with Dr. Singh at Rush, worked hard, built my CV, and beat the odds to be here. I feel incredibly grateful and excited, but more than anything, I want to say that if you’re interested in orthopedics, there’s a place for you. It takes determination and hard work, but it’s absolutely possible. And the field needs more orthopedic surgeons who look like you.”

Congratulations on your match and your full-circle journey! Welcome to AALOS.

Get to know Sean Hernandez our next featured match of 2025. He matched at Medical College of Wisconsin.
In his own words:
“As the youngest of four and the first in my family to attend medical school, I overcame financial and academic challenges, including working multiple jobs, constantly applying for scholarships, and developing my own pre-medical curriculum at a small state school. These experiences led me to work with Richard Armenta, gaining invaluable research experience and the opportunity to complete a post-baccalaureate research year at the NIH. Matching into orthopedic surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin is a proud moment for me and my family, and I am honored to represent the small but growing number of Latinos in this field. I’m excited to continue working with and giving back to my community, helping others from underrepresented backgrounds pursue their dreams in medicine.”

Congratulations on your match and your full-circle journey! Welcome to AALOS.
