COPHYLA is a worldwide leading non-profit organization that has been advancing USA's health care industry through quality education and services. The primary purpose of this community based organization in the State of California is to assist its participants who have graduated in Latin American and other countries obtain medical, dental, nursing license and/or technical certifications in order to practice medicine and/or enter the health care field as culturally, linguistic and experientially sensitive professionals to serve the Latino community. COPHYLA enters into articulation agreements with leading institutions to provide training to upgrade knowledge and skills for its members.
In the State of California, Latinos represent near 40% of the total population and 4% are Physicians, 4% are Nurses and 6% are Dentists of Latino heritage. Concomitant with this, California Medical Schools are accepting fewer Latino applicants than they did in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
In order to alleviate the problem of mal-distribution of health care providers, and to insure the Latino community appropriate and expedient health care, a community organization was founded in April 1990 by Rolando Castillo, Ph.D., The Consortium of Physicians from Latin America (COPHYLA).
