Diversity & Health Equity

Our school incorporates a range of diversity- and health equity-focused topics throughout the Trunks and Branches curriculum, as well as providing opportunities to interact with a diverse group of peers, mentors and community members outside of the classroom and clinical settings.

Culture of Inclusion

We value diversity in all its forms. It’s at the heart of a healthy, well-rounded medical education. We strive to maintain a balance between in-state and out-of-state residents so students can expect to rub shoulders with peers from all walks of life and, through these interactions, learn how to better relate with their future patients.
