The Center for Educational Enhancement invites faculty and staff to the first of the IAMSE Spring 2024 Series: Creating a Culture of Teaching and Learning entitled "Creating a Diverse Class of Learners".

Speaker: Mark Henderson, MD (UC Davis School of Medicine)

With the recent US Supreme Court decision striking down race-conscious admissions in higher education, institutions are looking to California where the practice has been banned in public schools for nearly 3 decades. Over the past 15 years, UC Davis School of Medicine has tripled enrollment of students from historically excluded groups by developing an admissions model that prioritizes workforce needs and attention to the mission fit, lived experience and socioeconomic background of each applicant. Dr. Henderson will discuss lessons from UC Davis to assist educational institutions seeking to uphold a commitment to health and education equity.
