Office for Multicultural Affairs
Who We Are
Our office promotes equality and provides the knowledge and skills necessary for all our future physicians, public health professionals, physician assistants, physical therapists, and biomedical scientists to succeed and prosper. Within this office, we provide tools and opportunities to promote and assist in the success of all our students.
We support the mission of Tufts University School of Medicine and the Tufts Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences with respect to their diversity missions.
Mission Statement
Tufts University School of Medicine embraces diversity in the broadest form, including racial, ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, geographic diversity, as well as diversity in gender and sexual orientation.
We believe that a diverse student body is essential for the creation of a teaching and learning environment that promotes excellence, quality and equity as core values among our future physicians, scientists and public health advocates, a workforce equipped with the knowledge and skill needed to address the range of health challenges facing our increasingly diverse patient population and their communities.
To this end, Tufts School of Medicine is committed to pursuing initiatives that will diversify the applicant pool and improve the selection process in order to create the most diverse student body.
