Uplifting the next generation of diverse health care leaders.
About us
At NMF we are uplifting the next generation of diverse health care leaders through scholarships, service-learning opportunities & diversifying clinical research. The critical financial support that we provide aims to lessen the significant barrier of the high cost of medical education thereby making education more accessible to medical students from groups underrepresented in medicine. This support makes a difference: evidence shows that physicians of color are more likely than others to practice in underserved communities, and to advocate for health equity in both the public and private sectors. Today more than 32,000 health care leaders are NMF alumni—that is, they received support from NMF early in their careers. Our alumni are practicing physicians, researchers, educators, policy makers, philanthropic leaders and health care administrators—many of them leaders in U.S. efforts to promote excellence in health care. Our goal is to ensure that every American has access to physicians and health care professionals who speak their language, understand their culture, and are committed to working in underserved communities. NMF is dismantling systemic and structural racism that stands in the way of our achieving these goals. We invite you to join us in this fight to achieve health equity.

NMF is proud to honor Dr. Marco Angulo with the 2024 NMF Excellence in Medical Education Award at our "This Time, This Place - Los Angeles" gala! ✨ As Medical Director of Medical Education at AltaMed Health Services, Dr. Angulo has made remarkable strides in training physicians to serve underserved communities in Southern California. His innovative work has touched numerous programs such as the Program in Medical Education for the Latino Community (PRIME-LC) as a director and former participant. PRIME-LC has been critical to developing physician leaders to address health disparities in the United States and beyond. In 2012, Dr. Angulo created the Health Scholars Program, one of the largest volunteer/clinical experience programs in Orange County dedicated to closing gaps in care and helping patients more effectively navigate the health care system. Throughout his career, Dr. Angulo has challenged the next generation of physician leaders to chip away at health disparities and develop solutions that lower barriers to patient care.

As we close out Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month, NMF proudly celebrates the incredible contributions of Latine leaders in medicine. We are especially proud of our NMF alumni, whose dedication continues to advance health equity. Leaders like Dr. Ives “Tony” Valenzuela, a distinguished ophthalmologist researching glaucoma care for vulnerable populations, and Dr. Cindy Parra, a skilled dermatologist committed to patient-centered care, embody our mission. Dr. Miguel Knochel’s work in pediatrics, Dr. Odilon Alvarado’s decades of internal medicine service, and Dr. Jorge Garcia’s specialization in pediatric cardiology are also making significant impacts in their fields. These individuals are part of the less than 6% of Latine physicians in the U.S., representing the excellence, resilience, and dedication we celebrate during this month and beyond. Their work is crucial in creating a more inclusive and equitable future for health care. #HispanicHeritageMonth #LatineHeritageMonth #HealthEquity #DiversityInMedicine #NMFAlumni #AdvancingHealthEquity
