Scholars in Health Equity

The Diversity Center of Excellence (DCoE), the Education Core of the Cornell Center for Health Equity (CCHEq), builds on Weill Cornell’s long-standing commitment to diversity by working with campus and community partners to increase the number of minority physicians in the workforce and in academic medicine. One of the ways the DCoE aims to increase the number of underrepresented minority physicians trained by Weill Cornell Medicine is through the expansion of faculty development programs to support underrepresented minority faculty. In fall 2019, CCHEq and the DCoE launched the Scholars in Health Equity program, which includes an Education and Research track for faculty.
