Bio
Dr. Ray Munguia-Vazquez, MD, MSc, PhD, is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the IU School of Medicine-West Lafayette. He earned his MD at the UAEMex in 2001 and started his graduate medical education in the field of Otolaryngology. He later obtained a master’s degree in 2006 and a PhD in 2010, both from the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Auditory Neurosciences at the University of Calgary, Canada.
Dr. Munguia’s previous appointments include Assistant Professor of Audiology at Northern Illinois University and Clinical Assistant Professor of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at Purdue University. Since joining IUSM, he has continued to publish on the neurophysiological mechanisms of the auditory system, and now also publishes on medical and interprofessional education.
He is an alumnus of the Leadership in Academic Medicine Program from IUSM; the Leadership and Management Foundations Program, and the Minority Faculty Leadership Development Program, both from the Association of American Medical Colleges. He is currently completing the Leadership Education and Development Certificate Program of the AAMC.
Dr. Munguia is the Director of Pre-Clinical Education (Phase 1) at the West Lafayette Campus, and oversees the Biomedical Engineering-Applied Medical Technologies and the Care of the Hispanic and Latino Patients Scholarly Concentrations. In addition, Dr. Munguia is the Regional Campus Course Director for IUSM-WL’s Fundamentals of Health and Disease, Cardiovascular/Hematology, and Renal/Respiratory courses taught to Year 1 and Year 2 medical students.
