Submit a Question

During the event, you'll received detailed information about the program, admissions, and applications. This is a chance to ask a different type of questions. To help spark some ideas, we've created a list of questions that we'll be asking the panelists.

What barriers to diversity and inclusion have you noticed as a future healthcare provider?
When providing care to a patient that is from a different culture than your own, how does it make you feel compared to providing care to some one of the same culture?
Why is healthcare diversity so important?
What are the risks of lacking healthcare diversity?

Submit your question.
