Dr. Cecilia M. Romero

Inspiration

I wanted to help people and starting out in middle school I wanted to be a nurse. A female physician then prompted me to think about being a physician and by the seventh grade a doctor was the only think I've wanted to be. My initial hope was to return to my hometown—Penasao, NM—and be our town doctor. I did do this but then medical education became my next goal and so now I'm in academics. I do all—practice, teach, and administration.
