Dr. Tony Urey went into medicine for the same reason many of his medical school friends did. He wanted to give low-income Hispanic and Latino communities better healthcare. Many of his fellow students became family doctors, but Urey decided to specialize in the heart. Most Hispanic and Latino doctors are internists or general practitioners, according to data from the Association of American Medical Colleges. As of 2013, there were 1,044 U.S.-trained Hispanic and Latino cardiologists practicing in the United States less than the number who went into surgery, psychiatry, or emergency medicine. As a cardiology fellow, Urey is specializing in advanced heart failure and transplantation at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. In medical school, Urey said he and his classmates had little exposure to cardiology in their training. I think that the exposure or the opportunities to serve the community in other areas [besides primary care] are not really well-explored by a lot of undergrads and medical students, said Urey, a Los Angeles native who wanted to become a doctor because his mother struggled to get good care in the county health system.
