Dr. Ben Raimer joined in First in the Families’ second annual First in the Family Awareness Day on March 28th as the invited guest speaker. First in the Family is a popular and active organization of faculty and students at UTMB whose mission is to help first-generation medical students navigate through their medical and health profession journey as they transition into healthcare leaders. Dr. Norma Pérez Raifaisen serves as their faculty advisor.

FIF invited all first in the family faculty and student members to join in celebrating their second annual FIF day as this very special event serves to represent the time, diligence, and dedication that first-generation medical students and faculty have invested into the medical profession. The faculty and students met in front of Old Red in their red FIF t-shirts and polos ready for a quick celebration, consisting of food-to-go and their annual FIF group photo to showcase the organization. The First in the Family organization is beyond grateful for all the support and guidance shown, as they continue to help their members navigate through the medical school journey and transition into the healthcare leaders of tomorrow.
