Dr. Viviana Martinez-Bianchi's worldview was shaped by her firsthand experience of political oppression as well as the influence of her parents, both of who were deeply involved in healthcare and policymaking. Driven by her parents' activism in healthcare, Dr. Martinez-Bianchi embarked on a challenging path to pursue medicine at the National University of Rosario Faculty of Medicine. Admission was fiercely competitive, and she fearlessly challenged restrictive standard, even resorting to a hunger strike and protesting at the chancellor's office. In a system that favored the privileged, she recognized the urgent need for a more inclusive approach to medical education, particularly in training physicians who were passionate about caring for underserved communities After completing medical school, Dr. Martinez-Bianchi moved to the United States, drawn to family medicine for its emphasis on holistic care and community engagement. Her experiences in both Argentina and the United States solidified her commitment to addressing health disparities and advocating for marginalized populations, including rural and low-socioeconomic status communities, which she pursued by moving to Iowa and serving as a rural medicine doctor for several years after completing residency. After many harsh winters in Iowa, Dr. Martinez- Bianchi moved to North Carolina where she was challenged with transforming the Family Residency Program at Duke. In Durham, her advocacy extends beyond the hospital walls, as she has spoken out against policies that perpetuate health disparities in the political sphere. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Martinez-Bianchi co-founded LATIN-19 with Dr. Gabriela Maradiaga Panayotti, a Duke pediatrician. This organization emerged as a powerful voice for the Latinx community, whose access to quality healthcare has long been neglected. Today, she stands as the president-elect of the World Organization of Family Doctors, a position that underscores her global impact and commitment to advancing healthcare on an international scale. Dr. Martinez-Bianchi's words resonate deeply as she reflects, “I cannot imagine not being an activist in a world with so many inequities and so many disparities. I cannot imagine staying quiet when I see so many things not going well.” As she prepares to assume this role, it is evident that Dr. Martinez-Bianchi's unwavering dedication to healthcare equity and advocacy for marginalized communities will continue to shape the landscape of family medicine worldwide.
