UAMS: Diversity and Inclusion
• UAMS has a strong commitment to diversity as evidenced by Vision
2020 that was produced in 2010 as part of the current UAMS
Strategic Plan. Vision 2020 states:
“We are committed to the importance of diversity of UAMS leadership, faculty, staff and
students in order to enhance the education of our students, reduce racial and ethnic
health disparities in our state, and provide an environment in which all employees
and views are welcomed

Center for Diversity Affairs (CDA)
Mission Statement• To increase the number of health care workers from groups that are underrepresented
(including Native Americans, African Americans, Alaskan Natives, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders) in the health professions in the state of Arkansas.

“Bridging the Gap Through Education and Training”
Focus Areas:
• Student Recruitment and Retention – Academic Enrichment
(Pipeline) Programs
• Institutional Climate Change
![Page 5: Center for Diversity Affairs Progress Report · 2020. 7. 14. · Center for Diversity Affairs (CDA) Mission Statement •To increase the number of health care workers from groups](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060906/60a149784d68c902ff430ae4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Institutional Interest
What is Diversity?
• Compositional/Structural – numerical and proportional representation of students,
faculty and staff from different racial and ethnic backgrounds.
• Diversity of Interaction – individuals gain exposure to alternative views and
ideas by interacting with people different from themselves.
• Institutional Diversity – activities and events that address issues of diversity –
ethnic courses, structured dialogue, cultural competency workshops.
![Page 6: Center for Diversity Affairs Progress Report · 2020. 7. 14. · Center for Diversity Affairs (CDA) Mission Statement •To increase the number of health care workers from groups](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060906/60a149784d68c902ff430ae4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Structural Diversity (students)
Determined by:
• Pre-admissions Process – K-16 educational system. Public and private educational system determines quality and size of the applicant pool. K-16 Academic Enrichment Programs.
• Admissions Process – variable across colleges but moving towards a holistic process. Fisher vs University of Texas at Austin (2016). Race as one of multiple factors used in the admissions process. Holistic Admissions Working Group – includes all UAMS colleges.
• Matriculation – student support services (Student Academic Success Center and the Center for Diversity Affairs). An inclusive, sensitive, and nurturing institutional environment.

Structural Diversity — Applicant Pool
• Undergraduate Living-Learning Communities - the authors describe the data that currently exist about the
premedical experience for underrepresented and underprepared students. “Academic medicine needs to be
involved in promoting the success for undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds, especially given the known
societal and educational benefits of a diverse physician workforce”. The authors reference the University of
Michigan Health Sciences Scholars Program (HSSP) as an example of a partnership between the medical
school and the undergraduate campus. HSSP uses higher education best practices known to promote success for
underprepared college students.

The Community We Serve
• Demographics – by 2040 there will be no majority. Minorities will be in the majority. People of color will form the bulk of the patients we see. These are individuals from multiple walks of life - different racial and ethnic groups, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability status.
• As individual healthcare providers and as a profession we must hold true to the fact that we have a moral obligation – a social contract – to the community to provide equitable quality care to all members of the community.
