HEAR at SWAG视频
SWAG视频 is committed to cultivating, nurturing, and growing a student body that resembles the diversity of California, Oregon and beyond.
Health Sciences education in general has struggled with overcoming chronic underrepresentation, inequity, and increasing the access and success of students from diverse communities. Through focusing on diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism (the very core of humanism) we attract more students and faculty members from underrepresented groups and prepare our students to care for underserved populations.
SWAG视频 intentionally seeks to educate and grow the diversity of the workforce in the health professions. These efforts will result in generational impact by systematically reducing health inequity in our most underserved communities.
Greetings!
Welcome to SWAG视频!
Suresh Appavoo, EdD (he, him, his)
Vice President for Humanism, Equity, and Anti-Racism
At SWAG视频, we are at the forefront of being concerned with what our students learn, and we also prepare them to discover who they are, who they can become, and how they can engage in collective, and transformative action with people to fundamentally and positively affect the health futures for every generation.
This preparation is how inclusive excellence for health equity is operationalized, and as such, transforms institutionally shared vision into institutionally shared actions that actualize the lived educational experience equitably for all students.
SWAG视频 HEAR in Action
Each of us at SWAG视频 is an embodiment of humanism and responsible for championing a culture that situates diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism at its humanistic core.
