Diversity Statement
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso
Grounded in the compelling evidence that diversity of thought and perspective provides
richer solutions to the complex challenges of meeting the health needs of our community,
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso promotes the recruitment, development
and retention of a diverse body of students, residents, faculty and staff.
We are mindful of the population we serve here on the U.S.-Mexico border, with the
majority being Hispanic, many of whom are underserved and disadvantaged, and we are
particularly committed to the inclusion of groups that are under-represented in medicine
that will enhance our ability to provide optimal health care to this population. Texas
Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso defines diversity as the inclusion
of students who are from the U.S.-Mexico border region, economically or educationally
disadvantaged, and/or of Hispanic origin. We will also welcome and support students
from other traditionally under-represented minorities.
For residents, faculty and staff, diversity will be defined as inclusion of those
who are of Hispanic origin and those who are multi-lingual, as the majority of patients
we serve in El Paso County speak a language other than English at home. We will also
welcome and support residents, faculty and staff from other traditionally under-represented
minorities.
