I started my medical journey at the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education (now known as CUNY School of Medicine). This program focused on working with people from the inner city who look just like you and me. Working with a predominantly black and Hispanic population was important to me because I was able to be a role model for young girls, boys and even adults who want to pursue their medical dreams. Although I am not fluent in Spanish, it is one of my goals to continue to practice my language to better assist patients and foster a stronger bond. I would like to pursue my career in pediatrics so that I can continue to be an inspiration, especially to Latinx children. I am completing my medical education at Northeast Ohio Medical University. It is a significant change in environment taking on new responsibilities of being on my own. But I take on this challenge as I would with any exam or new clinical experience.

Dr. Talia Torres, a Bronx native, grew up as the eldest of two daughters to a Puerto Rican high school teacher and an African American graphic designer from Long Island City. Inspired by her diverse upbringing, she pursued a career as a Family Practice physician to provide compassionate care to patients from all walks of life.
