Bruin Medical Review strives to improve and promote health literacy by providing health information on complex topics that can be easily accessible and understood by the general public. Through improving health literacy, we can help to minimize the inequities and barriers that exist between patients and quality health care.

Here is the first of a series of posts explaining the issues and challenges surrounding health literacy as well as strategies that can be used to combat them. First up, why is health literacy important?

At this week’s general meeting, we had the pleasure of hearing from the amazing Dr. Deepti Upparapalli about the experiences that got her to where she is now on her medical journey.

Dr. Upparapalli is currently an Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology Fellow at UCLA. She completed her bachelors at the University of California, Berkeley, then proceeded to medical school at the American University of the Caribbean, graduating in 2015. She is extremely passionate about her patients and cannot wait to start her own practice and continue on in the world of advanced heart failure, mechanical circulatory support and transplant cardiology after completing her training in June 2022.

A huge thank you to Dr. Upparapalli for taking the time to share her wisdom with our club members!
