he office of Minority Medical Student Affairs is dedicated to promoting services which improve medical practice in under served areas and which enhance the students’ success in their medical school curriculum. This is achieved by promoting effective communication, support of student organizations, maintaining frequent contact with the students, and maintaining contact with faculty and appropriate departments.
We are proud of the many cultures and ethnicities that make up our university community, and we are committed to creating a cordial environment for all students, faculty, staff and visitors on campus.
By fostering diversity and equal opportunity, we enrich UT Southwestern as an educational and medical institution and help fulfill our duty to serve the health-care needs of the diverse population of our community.
As president of UT Southwestern, I pledge our commitment to these principles, and I urge all members of the medical center community to embrace and enhance our collective efforts to achieve these goals.
President, UT Southwestern Medical Center
