Carol Gonzalez

Alma Mater: UC San Diego

Matriculation Year: 2025

About Carol: I am a mom of two who recently traded San Diego beaches for Sacramento's rivers and trees as I begin medical school. My kids keep me busy outside of medicine, but I also enjoy being active and outdoors, being artsy, and cheering on my favorite sports teams. 

Research Advisor: 

Research Interests: I'm interested in health services and health policy research, with a focus on addressing large-scale issues that drive health disparities. I'm passionate about finding ways to make healthcare systems more equitable and accessible for all communities. 

Why I chose ARC: I chose ARC because of its supportive environment and commitment to helping us grow into well-rounded physician-scientists. From the beginning, I could tell I'd be surrounded by passionate mentors and peers who are invested in both my learning and my success.
