Recruitment

Increase the number of educationally and economically disadvantaged applicants

NYCOM will reach out to educationally and/or economically disadvantaged students at the high school level through the STEP program and at the undergraduate level through the AIM program.  This will promote an increase in the cultural diversity among physicians working to eliminate our country’s health disparities.

This will be done through:

• Recruitment activities such as high school visits and college fairs
   
• Dissemination of information across a broader spectrum to contribute to a diverse and highly qualified applicant pool.

In addition, all individuals seeking entrance to NYCOM will be considered for the
HCOP grant during the standard application review process.
