Learning to Serve All Communities and Populations

We embrace diversity and promote belonging so you can be your full self as you complete your learning and to help you better understand, respect and elevate the perspectives of the communities you will serve. Students learn to work in partnership and solidarity with patients and populations to center their perspectives and needs to create positive care experiences.  

 Along with essential professional skills, you’ll learn to practice in ways that actively challenge the injustices contributing to disparities in injury, illness, disease and death—both locally and globally—to contribute to the greater good.
