One important mechanism for achieving the goal of eliminating minority health disparities (MHD) is to increase the number of faculty, especially under-represented minority (URM) faculty, in public health, medicine, and related sciences who are trained and are participating in MHD-related research. Both the Institute of Medicine and the Sullivan Commission, in their reports on the importance of diversity within the health and public health workforce, emphasize that talented URM students with interests in health sciences should be identified as undergraduates, encouraged to pursue advanced study, and supported during these early phases of their development as research scientists. Because of of its emphasis on MHD and community-based public health, and given the significant racial and ethnic health disparities that exist in Arkansas, the UAMS College of Public Health has as a primary goal to maintain an over-representation (relative to the State census) of African-American students in graduate degree programs. Unfortunately, many undergraduate students, including URM students, are unaware of public health sciences as a career option, suggesting the need to inform them of public health career opportunities. To our knowledge, no other accredited school of public health has developed BA/MPH combined degree programs with multiple historically Black colleges or universities (HBCUs) throughout their region specifically to enhance involvement of URM students in public health graduate study, tracking them into research careers. The Education/Training Core of the proposed NCMHDA therefore has as its aims to work closely with all three HBCUs in Arkansas to: (1) implement BA/MPH collaborative degree programs and enroll multiple students into the programs annually; (2) provide support and peer mentoring systems for URM students enrolled in the BA/MPH programs and throughout the COPH to increase their academic success and support their readiness for related doctoral programs, and (3) increase COPH recruitment activities within partner HBCUs, not only for the BA/MPH program but also for all available degree programs, especially doctoral programs. The Education Core includes representatives from the COPH, the Arkansas Minority Health Commission, and each HBCU, and will engage in ongoing process and outcome evaluation, monitoring specific objectives under each specific aim.

实现消除少数民族健康差异（MHD）目标的一种重要机制是 增加教师的数量，特别是代表性不足的少数族裔（URM）教师，公共卫生中 受过培训并参加与MHD相关的研究的医学和相关科学。两者 医学研究所和沙利文委员会在其报告中有关多样性重要性的报告 健康和公共卫生的劳动力强调，有才华的URM学生对健康科学有兴趣 应被确定为本科生，鼓励在此期间进行高级学习并支持 他们作为研究科学家发展的早期阶段。因为它强调MHD和 基于社区的公共卫生，并鉴于存在着重大的种族和种族健康差异 阿肯色州，UAMS公共卫生学院的主要目标是维持过度代表性 （相对于州人口普查）在研究生学位课程中的非裔美国学生。很遗憾， 许多本科生，包括URM学生，都不知道公共卫生科学是一项职业 选项，建议需要告知他们公共卫生职业机会。据我们所知，没有其他 认可的公共卫生学院已开发了BA/MPH的合并学位课程，并具有多个 历史上历史上的黑人学院或大学（HBCUS）整个地区专门为增强 URM学生参与公共卫生研究生学习，将他们追踪到研究职业。这 因此，拟议的NCMHDA的教育/培训核心的目的是与这三者紧密合作 阿肯色州的HBCUS致：（1）实施BA/MPH协作学位课程并注册多个学生 每年进入计划； （2）为参加的URM学生提供支持和同行指导系统 BA/MPH计划以及整个COPH，以提高他们的学术成就并支持他们 准备相关博士课程的准备，（3）增加合作伙伴HBCUS内的COPH招聘活动， 不仅针对BA/MPH计划，还用于所有可用学位课程，尤其是博士课程。 教育核心包括来自COPH，阿肯色州少数民族卫生委员会的代表， 每个HBCU，并将进行持续的过程和结果评估，监控特定目标 在每个特定目标下。
