Our Mission
The mission of the Center of Excellence (CoE) in Howard University College of Medicine (HUCOM) is to:
- Increase the number of Black premed students to get accepted into and complete medical school.
- Expand and sustain the capacity for Black students enrolled in medical school to graduate and enter the medical profession.
- Promote junior Black faculty as a means of supporting a sustainable workforce.
The impact of the mission is an expanded and diversified healthcare workforce that is culturally responsive to the health care needs of vulnerable and underserved communities nationwide.
