Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Diversity
The Office of Diversity at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford is part of the larger University of Illinois College of Medicine Diversity Mission. The office strives to achieve the goals of diversity and inclusion for the College of Medicine Rockford campus, which are consistent across campuses while working locally to implement programs. As a campus, we have shown great strength and resilience, and commitment to social justice. We look forward to continuing on collaboratively to improve diversity and inclusion on our campus.
As the population of United States continues to grow and diversify, we continue to support the compelling goal of diversifying the health care workforce to produce physicians that can address the healthcare needs of the local communities, the state and the nation.
On the Rockford campus, the Urban Health Program (UHP) is dedicated to recruiting, retaining and supporting minority students. The Rockford campus also has several diverse student interest groups that meet regularly and organize activities that promote understanding and fostering integration.
