Medical School ranks 7th on top 10 list
|
The September issue of Hispanic Business magazine ranks the UT Medical School as 7th on its list of those that promote and encourage a diverse community where Hispanic students can thrive. The Medical School moved up from its rank as No. 8 on last year's top 10 list. "We are very proud of this accomplishment," said Dr. Judianne Kellaway, assistant dean for admissions at the UT Medical School at Houston. "Our faculty, students, and staff have worked ardently in order to enhance our diversity mission here at UT Houston, and we are so happy to be recognized by Hispanic Business magazine for these efforts." Joining the UT Medical School at Houston on the "Best Schools for Hispanics" listing are sister institutions The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Institutions were ranked using data points from variables including enrollment, faculty diversity, student services, recruiting, retention rate and reputation. The diversity statement published in the magazine states that the UT Medical School at Houston demonstrates high-quality education in a supportive environment. The diverse student body is 20 percent underrepresented minorities, and students actively participate in the National Network of Latin American Medical Students and community outreach, such as the Houston Hispanic Forum. Hispanic students make up 12 percent of the medical school's enrollment, and Hispanic faculty account for 7 percent of the school's full-time educators.
