How can a student pathway program integrate quality improvement for increasing diversity?: “This session will offer a “road-map” on integrating and analyzing diversity goals into a health equity pathways program. The program’s impact on disparity is twofold: increasing equity focused placement opportunities for under-represented minority students and capacity building for students to increase their confidence and competence to work with diverse communities.”

Regional Approaches to Diversity: Three Models of Student Pathway Programs to Build the Public Health Workforce in the Community’s Image: “This session addresses practical aspects of diversifying the public health workforce through Student Pathway Programs mindful of place-specific needs. Explore three regional models from CEPH-accredited schools’ Public Health Training Centers (PHTCs), highlighting efforts to learn about disparities, improve language, build new relationships with and support diverse and disadvantaged students.”
