Dr. Bianka Soria-Olmos, an alumna of UNTHSC TCOM, was honored with a custom-made '40 Under 40' belt buckle.
Dr. Bianka Soria-Olmos is Fort Worth born, raised and now honored. The 2011 graduate of The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth’s Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine and Cook Children’s Medical Center primary care pediatric physician, was named to the 40 Under 40 list by Fort Worth Inc. Magazine. It was Fort Worth Inc.’s inaugural 40 Under 40 award program, which recognizes outstanding individuals in Greater Fort Worth who have defied the impediments of youth and made significant strides in their respective fields.
The list featured a cross-section of innovators and entrepreneurs across a variety of professions in Fort Worth. Each honoree received a custom-made belt buckle. In 2023, Soria-Olmos was selected as one of 50 Fort Worth Emerging Latino Leaders and featured in the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s 50th Anniversary publication.
Her story, and life for that matter, begins with Osteopathic Medicine. Soria-Olmos was born in the Osteopathic Medical Center of Texas, right smack in the middle of TCOM’s campus in 1985, and now where the present-day Medical and Education Training building sits.
She attended North Side High School and was active in their magnet program, which
focused on health professions. Soria-Olmos flourished at TCU and became a first-generation
college graduate in 2007, but she always had her eye on medical school.
TCOM, osteopathic medicine and Fort Worth were the perfect combination. Soria-Olmos has been at Cook Children’s for more than a decade after completing her residency at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, one of the most prestigious facilities in the nation.
Soria-Olmos has been one of the leading voices in Fort Worth for children’s health care and the Hispanic community. It has been more than a full-circle moment for Soria-Olmos, who is a first-generation college graduate, a first-generation medical school graduate and then returning coming back home to serve her community.
