"I believe strongly that Northwestern's institutional responsibilities include creating an environment that welcomes students, faculty and staff of all races, nationalities and religions. In doing so, we offer our students the opportunity to learn in a diverse community, thereby preparing them better for their careers. This is particularly true in the 21st century, when the United States is becoming increasingly diverse and the working world increasingly globalized." —President Bienen

| A diverse class is essential to the quality of education for every student at Feinberg, and to this end the Feinberg School of Medicine works to recruit students from all backgrounds and walks of life. We recognize that diversity in today’s society is not mirrored in the physician workforce, and therefore focus our efforts on increasing membership in medicine from underrepresented groups. |  |

Latino Cultural Medical Association, Student National Medical Association, Queers & Allies, Jewish Medical Student Organization, Muslim Student Association, Asian Pacific American Student Association, South Asian Medical Student Association, are just a few. Where possible, the OMCA supports meeting/conference attendance and student initiatives (such as noon hour seminars or lectures) that focus on and raise awareness about diversity, social justice, underserved communities, and health disparities. Students can apply for funds on a bi-yearly basis and are expected to contribute to diversity at Feinberg in return. |

Last year, student leaders worked with the OMCA to redesign the mentoring program to more accurately address student needs. Each year the SNMA runs a Health Professions Exploration Program for high school students in the Chicago area. The OMCA partners with SNMA to support HPREP, which begins in January and runs for six weeks. SNMA National Organization
