The mission of the Office of Outreach and Multicultural Affairs (OMA) is to develop and nurture a diverse health-care workforce to meet the needs of the nation’s increasingly diverse population. Consistent with UA’s values to integrate diversity and inclusion fully into all aspects of academic life, the office promotes an inclusive environment by engaging collaboratively with and serving as a resource to constituencies within the College of Medicine, the health sciences colleges, the UA main campus and the communities served.

OMA’s programs:

• provide information on, and exposure to, various health professions by offering academic enrichment for middle and high school students interested in college and health profession opportunities;
• facilitate access to information, resources and services to assist students during the admission process to medical school;
• offer career mentoring and opportunities to enhance cultural and linguistic (Spanish) competence for students, premed and medical, and trainees; and
• foster a climate of inclusiveness.
