Vanessa Mora Molina, MD

Dra. Vanessa Mora 🇲🇽 None of this would be possible without my parents’ sacrifices. I am privileged to pursue higher education and become a physician. I pray that God continues to give me the strength to make them proud and to serve my patients to the best of my ability ♥️

We are thrilled to have matched this incredible group to our UCLA Surgery family! We can't wait to welcome you to sunny Los Angeles 😎🌴 #Match2025

En este momento sale el grupo de ayuda humanitaria a Los Ángeles, California. Somos un país generoso y solidario. Gracias al equipo del Plan DN-III-E de la Secretaría de la Defensa, a los combatientes forestales y a @laualzua, coordinadora nacional de Protección Civil. Llevan con ustedes la valentía y el corazón de México.

este año será mejor que el anterior
