Elaine Ramirez, MD

Elaine was born and raised near Houston, Texas. She attended college at the University of Texas at Dallas where she discovered an interest in neurology while majoring in neuroscience and working in a regenerative neurobiology laboratory. During these four years, she also collaborated with a non-profit based in Washington, D.C. to increase accessibility to cost-effective medication for neglected tropical diseases. Her interest in health inequities and our healthcare system brought her to Austin where she had the opportunity to pursue an MD/MBA at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School and McCombs School of Business. She stayed in Austin another year to complete her preliminary year in internal medicine and be close to family. Having spent her whole life in Texas thus far, Elaine is excited to move to California for her neurology training at UCLA. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, trying new restaurants, listening to live music and visiting national parks.
