A proud Chicago native, Dr. Moreira received dual bachelor’s degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign before earning his medical degree at Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and returned to Chicago to complete his fellowship training in Hematology/Oncology at Northwestern University. He is triple board certified in Internal Medicine, Hematology, and Medical Oncology.

A dedicated mentor and advocate, Dr. Moreira advises students from high school through fellowship and serves as Faculty Advisor for the Latino Medical Student Association (LMSA) chapter at Feinberg. His long-standing involvement with community-focused organizations, including his service on the Board of Directors for the I Am Abel Foundation, reflects his commitment to building pathways for underrepresented students in medicine.

As President of MOLA, Dr. Moreira is committed to strengthening the organization’s reach, deepening its community impact, and expanding opportunities for Latino/a/x health professionals. Having witnessed MOLA’s growth since its earliest stages, he is deeply inspired by the organization’s potential to elevate the collective voice of the Hispanic/Latinx community in medicine. His presidential priorities include expanding partnerships across academic medical centers, community hospitals, private practices, and nonprofit health systems; building a more robust and personalized membership engagement strategy; and ensuring that MOLA continues to cultivate meaningful mentorship, advocacy, and professional development opportunities.

Guided by the belief that our voice is strongest when we speak in unison, Dr. Moreira aims to amplify MOLA’s presence in Chicago and support its expansion into new regions, ensuring that the organization remains a powerful force for health equity, leadership development, and community advancement.

When not caring for patients or supporting trainees, Dr. Moreira enjoys spending time with his wife and three young daughters, reading, biking, traveling, practicing guitar, and exploring new cuisines.
