Arthur Ashe was committed to academic excellence. The Institute's goals in the areas of health education and training include:
Increasing the participation of racial and ethnic minorities in the health professions by creating a pipeline of opportunity for learning that begins early in academic tenure (K-12)
Educating health care providers about the health care needs and experiences of culturally diverse communities
Educating the lay public about important issues in health care that will facilitate their access to services and improve their interactions with providers and health care institutions |
