Diversity

Regardless of background, every person should have equal opportunity to sit in any classroom, study in any library or conduct research in any laboratory. Knowledge is not a privilege but a right. Personal aspirations define who we are and what path we follow. It is merely the responsibility of others to clear that path.

Diversity and inclusion are best achieved through programs and services that allow every individual to feel welcome and included. A culture that is accepting of all cultures is innovative. It achieves new heights in all areas of its mission.

The University of Kentucky College of Medicine has established a number of programs and initiatives aimed at ensuring that all individuals have access to our institution.
