EVMS recognizes the need to improve access to health care, provide more culturally competent care and reduce health-care disparities, particularly among minority and underserved populations. As such, EVMS supports the campaign of the Association of American Medical Colleges to “increase diversity in medicine by encouraging more well prepared African-American, Hispanic/Latino and Native American students to pursue careers in medicine.”

We join the AAMC in inviting you to visit ApiringDocs.org, the new AAMC Web site and campaign to increase diversity in medicine.

The Office of Minority Affairs serves as EVMS' central division for diversity initiatives, including recruitment, facilitation of entry and retention programming. The Assistant Dean for Student Affairs and Director of Minority Affairs encourages individual appointments with premedical students to review student profiles in preparation for medical school. In addition, candidates routinely meet with the staff of the Office of Minority Affairs on the day of their interview to discuss student support services.
