A student body, faculty and staff with varied backgrounds and perspectives are an essential foundation for fulfilling the College of Medicine's mission and goals. We believe that such inclusivity enhances the academic experience beyond the classroom, fostering the development of well-rounded health care professionals.

Studies show that underrepresented minority physicians are more likely to care for minority, indigent and historically marginalized patients and practice in underserved communities.
