Her teaching focuses on topics such as self-awareness and emotional intelligence, cultural and intellectual humility, unconscious bias, inclusive practices in a healthcare setting, communication skills, and giving and receiving feedback.
Dr. Solis delights in opening doors for individuals who are from communities which are under- represented in medicine (URM), and about increasing diversity in all aspects of medical education.
