UIC College of Dentistry offers a new dental assistant pathway program at no cost to individuals who may not have gone to college or are underemployed.
UIC’s seven health sciences colleges graduated 1,843 students in May, of which 648 of those graduates – roughly 35% – were underrepresented minority students.
Increasing the number of physicians who are racial and ethnic minority individuals is a strategy to improve clinical care delivery and health outcomes among minoritized racial and ethnic populations.
