Champion an inclusive and culturally responsive health sciences workforce

Overview

When caregivers look like — and understand — the people they are serving, health outcomes improve. We support work to diversify the pathways to the health sciences workforce to improve health and build wealth for Black, Indigenous, Latino/a/x, and rural people in our region.

We broadly define these pathways to include the many phases and steps people go through in pursuit of a health sciences career.

In addition to improving health outcomes, diversifying the health sciences ecosystem will build economic opportunity for communities of color and people living in rural areas.
