Diversity

UT Southwestern values diversity because it enhances the educational experience of our students and enriches the Medical Center community. Welcoming a diverse student body is imperative as UTSW strives to provide the state with health care professionals who mirror the population they serve. The School of Health Professions actively publicizes career opportunities, recruits students of varied backgrounds, and responds to Texas’ changing needs for health professionals.

UT Southwestern is committed to attracting and maintaining a high level of diversity within its student body. To meet this goal, we offer programs and organizations that support the needs and career aspirations of all students.

The UT Southwestern Office of Student Diversity and Inclusion is dedicated to helping ensure students’ success. The Office promotes effective communication with minority students, supports student organizations, and maintains contact with faculty and appropriate departments. The Office also fosters the development of minority faculty, thereby increasing the number of minority mentors for our students.

The School of Health Professions does not use race or ethnicity as a factor in admissions decisions.
