Our Commitment to Diversity
As each year passes, the face of America becomes more diverse – a trend that is projected to accelerate in the coming years.
MGH Institute of Health Professions is committed to preparing health care leaders to meet the needs of this increasingly diverse society. From concerted efforts to diversify our student body, ensure a welcoming campus climate, and implement curricular changes to integrate cultural competence in all of our academic programs, the Institute continues to weave diversity into the fabric of everything we do.
There is growing evidence that diversity enriches both learning and work, and contributes to institutional excellence. Rather than a goal unto itself, diversity of people, talents, and thought at the Institute will ensure that our faculty, students, and alumni are best prepared to address the range of challenges confronting the U.S. health care system. Ultimately, this will improve the quality of health care and health outcomes for all.
