Health Career U

Health Career University Program was developed to help students on their academic journey from junior/senior high school to undergraduate and graduate and beyond. At each step, challenging and engaging age-appropriate engaging programs helps guide students to their next steps in choosing a career in health care.

Background and Introduction

The Division for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is committed to eliminating disparities in access to and quality of health care in Arkansas. That work includes recruiting and training a health care workforce that is both culturally competent and broadly representative of the patient population it serves. Countless studies have shown a more diverse workforce leads to better patient outcomes and reduction in health disparities.
