INITIATIVE AIMS TO CREATE A MORE DIVERSE MEDICAL AND DENTAL WORKFORCE In
their first-ever joint activity, the Association of American Medical Colleges
(AAMC) and the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) are collaborating
in a $12 million effort to create a more diverse medical and dental workforce
and help reduce disparities in access to health care. The two associations,
which represent U.S. medical and dental schools, have come together to serve as
the national program offices for the Summer Medical and Dental Education
Program (SMDEP). Under the program, which is funded by The Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the AAMC and ADEA will work closely with medical
and dental schools to diversify the medical and dental pipelines. "Closing
the diversity gap in the healthcare workforce is essential if we are to
reduce the health care disparities that affect minority groups," said
AAMC President Jordan J. Cohen, M.D. "Powerful partnerships like this
one will help us move closer to this important goal." Richard W. Valachovic,
D.M.D., Executive Director of ADEA and member
of CCPH, said, "Meeting the needs of a diverse workforce is one of
ADEA's strategic directions. We look forward to collaborating with AAMC and
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to help prepare students from diverse
backgrounds for success in dental and medical schools." "The
diversity of the medical and dental professions is an important way to ensure
that all Americans have access to quality health care at reasonable
cost," said John Lumpkin, M.D., Senior Vice President and Director,
Health Care Group of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "The foundation
is delighted to be part of this landmark collaboration between AAMC and ADEA
as we work together on concrete solutions to the health care access and
diversity problem." Through
this innovative program, up to ten accredited medical and dental schools will
be selected to develop and implement six-week academic enrichment programs
for qualified undergraduate college students who are strong advocates for
diversity and/or who come from groups that are underrepresented in medicine
and dentistry. Applicants may come from economically disadvantaged
backgrounds, racial and ethnic groups that historically have been
underrepresented in medicine and dentistry, or parts of the country (such as
rural areas) where residents historically have been underrepresented in
medicine and dentistry. Sites will receive $300,000 per year for four years,
with all grantees providing a dollar-for-dollar match in cash or in kind.
Each site will include 80 students per summer. By
introducing potential medical and dental students to the academic and other
requirements of these professions, the new summer programs will be designed
to help students gain acceptance to medical or dental school and succeed once
they are admitted. All grantees will structure their programs around a set of
core operational and programmatic principles. Program components will include
academic enrichment in the basic sciences and key electives; learning skills
seminars; exposure to medical and dental clinics; exploration of the medical
and dental professions; financial planning workshops; and individualized
educational plans to help students achieve their goals. This
new program is an extension of previous programs conducted by the AAMC, ADEA,
and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation's largest philanthropy
devoted exclusively to health and health care. In 1988, the Foundation
established the Minority Medical Education Program to increase the number of
highly qualified medical school applicants from minority groups
underrepresented in medicine-primarily African Americans, Hispanics, and
Native Americans. AAMC became the national program office for this program in
1993. In 2002 the foundation developed a program for dentistry with the
assistance of Columbia University and ADEA. The Pipeline, Profession, and
Practice: Community-Based Dental Education program sponsors efforts at 11
dental schools to increase the time students spend in clinics treating
underserved patients; prepare students for treating underserved patients; and
recruit more underrepresented minority and low-income students to dental
school. The
new Summer Medical and Dental Education Program is being launched at a
running start. Brief proposals were due April 1 and full proposals June 17.
Following evaluations and site visits, awards will be announced September 22. For

Harris at 202-828-0570. HHS SECRETARY APPOINTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
