With a combined 14 years of experience at the university and community college level, Dr. Ramos has served as a healthcare practitioner, instructor, and administrator.

Dr. Ramos has been an advocate for student equity and access since he began his tenure at DVC. First as Sports Medicine Program Manager and subsequently as Dean.
