Wayne State University (WSU) students represent more than 20 different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. With one of the most ethnically diverse student bodies, the WSU School of Medicine ranks seventh in the nation for the number of underrepresented minority graduates and the number of full-time faculty who are African-American, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. The percentage of African-American residents and fellows in advanced training programs at WSU-affiliated hospitals is nearly three times the national average.
We are committed to increase the number of medical students from under-served areas who represent various cultures and ethnic backgrounds who are well capable of successfully completing the WSU School of Medicine curriculum.
The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the Wayne State University School of Medicine innovatively promotes the outreach, mentoring, and recruitment of persons who represent the diversity of our global community, in an effort to broaden the availability and diversity of exceptional students who will become tomorrow’s successful physicians.
