• Promising Practices for the Recruitment and Retention of Culturally Diverse Students and Faculty into Maternal and Child Health Training Programs: Updated Literature Review

EXAMPLE

• Pennsylvania (PA): The Office of Diversity and Inclusion provides a high level of institutional support within the Human Resources department at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh (CHOP), and makes a concerted effort to reach out personally to prospective employees/trainees from ethnic and racial backgrounds that have been underrepresented among health care professionals. HR representatives attend career fairs and, notably for post-graduate recruiting, they attend professional organizations' annual conventions where they have the opportunity to speak personally to prospective LEND fellows. LEND and the CHOP Office of Diversity & Inclusion produced a recruitment brochure for prospective LEND trainees highlighting our mission to serve historically underserved minority children and families.
