Paula Latortue Albino, MD (she/her/ella) is a Haitian-Puerto Rican physician who grew up between Puerto Rico and Haiti. She completed her undergraduate education at Cornell University and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine. As a medical student, she was honored as a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha and the Gold Humanism Honor Societies. She completed her residency training at Boston Medical Center, an academic safety-net hospital serving a diverse population in the greater Boston Area. Prior to her post-graduate training, she worked in the non-profit sector and served for 6 years on the board of directors of Mentes Puertorriqueñas en Acción, a non-profit organization that supports youth leadership development in social justice in Puerto Rico. Upon completing residency, Dr Latortue joined the faculty at the Boston University School of Medicine, training medical students and residents, and providing full spectrum obstetrics and gynecologic care in a tertiary care, safety-net hospital and a federally qualified health care center with a majority Black, Latine and multicultural migrant population. In 2023, she joined the committee organizing the first Haitian Health Conference, which successfully brought together providers serving the Haitian-American and recent Haitian immigrant and refugee community in Boston to discuss the healthcare challenges affecting this population. She is passionate about issues of health disparities affecting Black, Latine, and migrant populations, mentorship of underrepresented minorities in medicine and studying and promoting shared decision making in obstetrics and gynecologic care.  She will be joining the faculty at George Washington University in Washington, DC in the fall of 2023.
