A key mission of UI COM is to cultivate a community that advances equity and broad engagement while striving to eliminate healthcare disparities. The college provides resources for students, trainees, faculty, and staff. There is also support for cross-college and interdisciplinary collaboration.

UI COM is committed to:

  • Recruit, matriculate, support, and graduate students and trainees from economically and educationally disadvantaged communities who reflect the communities we serve and uphold UI COM’s vision and values.
  • Respond to the needs and concerns of learners, staff, and faculty to foster a learning and work environment where all members of the community are supported in realizing their full potential.
