Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship

This fellowship is offered to medical students whose individual life experiences and perspectives will enhance inclusion in our community.

Diverse perspectives and experiences provide richer solutions to the complex challenges of academic medicine. 

A diverse medical student body enhances educational experiences for all students and can ultimately improve health care on a global level.

Further, the University at Buffalo is committed to being fully inclusive and supportive of all students.

Therefore, for the Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship, we seek applicants who:

  • have unique circumstances, skills or talents that will enhance the diversity of the medical school’s scholarly community
  • are deeply committed to a spirit of inclusiveness
  • cultivate a culture of fairness and respect by taking actions such as: helping people overcome health care disparities, serving underserved populations, and working toward social equity and justice

Eligibility

Applicants for the fellowship must be accepted as first-year medical students at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
