The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry (URSMD) is committed to increasing the number of physicians with diverse backgrounds and those who demonstrate a vision and commitment to improving the health status of diverse patient populations via patient care, research and/or teaching. As a result, OMSIEP was established to continue to broaden the scope of medical education beyond the classroom to include health, culture, and educational experiences with the goal of creating cross-culturally humble physicians. OMSIEP serves as a resource to bridge URSMD with local, national, and international communities.
