The COE was established to be a catalyst for institutionalizing a commitment to under-represented minority (URM) students and faculty. Part of this commitment includes providing educational and training opportunities that focus on increasing racial and ethnic diversity among health professions and addressing minority health issues. COE grantees serve as innovative resources and education centers to recruit, train, and retain URM students and faculty at health professions schools. Programs improve information resources, clinical education, curricula, and cultural competence as they relate to minority health issues and social determinants of health. COE grantees also focus on facilitating faculty and student research on health issues particularly affecting URM groups.

Program Goals
1) To strengthen the national capacity to produce a quality health care workforce with racial and ethnic diversity to improve the quality and delivery of health care through collaborations and strategic partnerships.
2) To serve as innovative, education resource centers to recruit, train, and retain under-represented minority URM students and faculty at health professions schools.
3) To improve clinical education and cultural competence for minority health issues and social determinants of health.
4) To facilitate faculty and student research on health issues particularly affecting under-represented minority groups, including research on issues relating to the delivery of health care.
