MINORITY FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Established in 1990, the Office for Diversity and Community Partnership Minority Faculty Development Program seeks to: increase the number of URM faculty at Harvard Medical School; increase the number of underrepresented minority (URM) physicians and scientists who undertake their post-graduate medical education at one of the 17 Harvard Medical School-affiliated institutions; establish model programs for the development of URM faculty with an emphasis on mentoring and leadership; and create programs designed to reach out to the pre-college and college populations with the goal of bringing outstanding, underrepresented minority students into the pipeline.

They Are a Success! CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
Awarded to Harvard Medical School in September 2002, and under the direction of the Office for Diversity and Community Partnership, the Center of Excellence in Minority Health and Health Disparities (COE) seeks to enhance the academic performance of underrepresented minority (URM) students, strengthen efforts to support the cultural competency preparedness of faculty, residents, and students, and to expand current models for underrepresented faculty development and student/faculty research that focuses on issues of minority health and health disparities. The COE's six programmatic areas of focus are: Student Performance, Faculty Development, Information Resources and Cultural Competence, Faculty and Student Research, Student Training in Providing Health Care Services, and Pipeline Programs.

The DCP Office of Community Outreach Programs, established in 1999, builds and supports partnerships among Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Dental Medicine and the community. These partnerships seek to improve the health of the community and, in particular, address issues of health and healthcare disparity based on racial or societal inequalities. The Office of Community Outreach Programs also focuses on the underrepresentation of minorities within the workforce, with an emphasis on careers in healthcare and the biomedical sciences. OCOP also works closely with the following entities within Harvard Medical School: Minority Faculty Development Program, Office of Enrichment Programs, Office of Recruitment and Multicultural Affairs.
