•Should La Chlcana go Into the
health profession?" Is the question that ts asked by many Mexican American women today.
The reason for asking this
question Is that in the past the

I feel that the heart of the
problem lies (n the. lack of research Into the toxic agricultural

cooked food, made clothing, and
cared for the sick and the young.
But today La chlcana ls finding
that she can doother things which
are beneficial to her family and
her culture.
Some of the factors that are
contributing to La Chlcana's way
of thinking a
;s of tli
equal opportunities for women.
La Chlcana Is needed In the
health professions because of two
factors: (1) the lack of health
professionals, and (2) the lack of
women In the health field. By
being a health professional (doctor, dentist, pharmacist, nurse,
etc.) she will be able to cope
better  with the problems of La
La Chlcana can also cope better with her own people (La
Raza) because she speaks Spanish and understands their lifestyles and customs.
Being a Chlcana, La Raza Is
more apt to go to her for medical
nelp or advice than to an anglo
professional who
speak  their
which her patients are more
willing to confide In her. The
Chlcana health professional tends
to cope with problems of children
more easily than a male profes-.
slonal because she portrays i
motherly Image whir-h puts ttie
Thus the advantage of a Chlcana health professional Is that
better care ls given to mothers
and children.
The Chlcana In a health profession acts as an Incentive to
motivate other Chlcanas Into the
health profession careers. She Is
also an asset to her community
In Itiat she can get Involved
politically - another way she ls
able to help La Raza.
As a health professional La
Chlcana is given the opportunity
to sit on health professional
boards that deal with new drugs
and pedicles that pertain to women. She Is given the chance to
express her feelings and professional judgment about these
new drugs and policies.
La Chlcana as a heftlth professional Is a much needed person
to La Raza. She Is not only able
to give her people better medical
care but she is also abletoserve
her people in a political aspect.
By being a professional, she Is
also an  example  to other Chl
canas who want to m
thing of themselves.
