"Diversity is an evolving concept that emphasizes inclusion and respect of individuals and groups from different racial, cultural, cognitive, linguistic, ethnic, geographic, gender, and socio-economic backgrounds. Diversity as a core value seeks to cultivate better outcomes through the use of different collective narratives and histories, heuristics, perspectives, world-views, and belief systems."
The HSC's commitment to addressing health and educational disparities is evidenced by the creation of HSC-wide Office of Diversity (OoD). The OoD is responsible for a full panoply of programs addressing faculty diversity, linguistic and cultural competence, K-20 educational pipeline, research data and analyses, family involvement/community engagement, and leadership on issues of inclusion and equity.
The Vice Chancellor for Diversity (VCD) oversees the HSC Office for Diversity and provides leadership to conceptualize, define, develop, assess, nurture and cultivate diversity, inclusion, and health equity as both an HSC and UNM Health System institutional identity and resource resulting in widespread educational benefits and measurable health and healthcare value

The Office of Diversity coordinates the flagship
educational pipeline for the University of New
Mexico for New Mexico students interested in
health professions. These programs are partially
funded through a federal grant from the
Department of Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), Health Careers
Opportunity Programs (HCOP), and also by the UNM
School of Medicine. Application Review In Process We are currently processing summer program applications; however, due to the number of applications received this year, we are slightly behind schedule. For HCA and UHSEP, decisions will be made mid-May. For MCAT+ and ClinEd, decisions will be made by May 24. Students will be notified by mail. Thank you for your patience during the review process. |

Faculty of Color Videos |

As many of you know, we have been working for
some time on a special project highlighting the
stories of many of the faculty of color at UNM
HSC. A number of faculty responded to our
request to be interviewed for the project and we
have been videotaping and editing for several
months. We are delighted with all the interviews and stories and we are certain they will have a tremendous positive impact on students, prospective students, HSC administration, faculty, prospective faculty, staff, residents, community members, post-graduate learners, and others who view them. |
