The College of Osteopathic Medicine will host a series of informative events to celebrate its fourth annual Diversity Week, March 14-18.

“We encourage the MSUCOM community to celebrate and embrace our extraordinary diversity during this week,” says Chinyere Tobias, academic and career advisor, and chairperson of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. “And while we have made incredible progress in equality and inclusive excellence in the college and in our society, we also realize that there is still work to be done.”

Six SpartanDO students have planned a series of events, covering topics from caring for the homeless to mental health and well-being, from maternal health care for minority and underserved women to gender and LGBTQ medicine. The events aim to enhance participants’ understanding of diversity, provide a better appreciation of the unique needs of specific populations and ways to improve care for patients, and build connections with fellow Spartans.
