Underrepresented Minorities in Medicine

Information for underrepresented minorities rotations.

Program Overview Benefits

Program Overview

Sponsored by Academic Affairs, The Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and The Institute for Research on Equity and Community Health’s Harrington Trust.

This program has been designed as part of a pipeline program to attract students who are underrepresented minorities in medicine (URM), as defined by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and feature ChristianaCare as a great place to train as a physician. The AAMC recognizes the underrepresented in medicine as individuals who identify as Black or African American, Latino/Hispanic/LatinX, Native Americans (including American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiians), and mainland Puerto Ricans.

The Visiting Student Program provides support for fourth year URM students to participate in ChristianaCare’s medical student programs. These two or four-week rotations provide URM medical students with an introduction to ChristianaCare, and opportunities to connect with residency programs and faculty. The student will be immersed in the specialty of their choosing, developing a foundational knowledge of clinical and non-clinical health equity strategies.
