Diversity Statement

The Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine is committed to the important role of diversity in the training of future medical professionals.  We believe that diversity enhances our ability to provide care and serve communities across a broad range of racial and ethnic groups and is critical for the amelioration of disparities in health care.  Commitment to diversity requires the identification, recruitment, selection, matriculation and graduation of qualified medical students from different racial, ethnic and/or disadvantaged backgrounds.  These efforts, in turn, will increase the number of physicians available to serve the nation's burgeoning minority and underserved populations while raising the general cultural competence of all physicians.  Furthermore, we believe that diversity is not solely limited to race and ethnicity, but also encompasses talents, life skills, and special attributes. 

For recruitment and programmatic purposes, the College specifically intends to achieve recruitment, retention and graduation of medical and graduate students from different racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
