Arthur Lessa⁠

I'm Arthur, a newly graduated physician from FMUSP with a focus on public health and health equity. I co-wrote a clinical recommendations guide for Brazil's Ministry of Health through the QualiAIDS project, and researched how affirmative action shifted Black and Brown enrollment in Brazilian medical schools over a decade. As a leader of Núcleo Ayé, USP's Black student collective, I helped build institutional policies around racial quotas and identity verification. Ask me about health equity in Brazil, affirmative action in higher education, public health research, and navigating medicine as a first-generation student.
