“Diversity is the key to excellence in healthcare.” The Sullivan Commission Report, 2004
The UCSF School of Nursing is committed to recruiting and preparing students from diverse backgrounds to be national and international leaders in research, education, clinical practice, administration, policy, and other emerging arenas.
To achieve these goals, we must maintain a diverse, respectful learning environment where we value the unique perspectives and contributions of all members of the UCSF and broader health care communities.
As educators of advanced practice nurses, nurse administrators, nurse faculty, health policy specialists, and nurse researchers, we have a responsibility to graduate well-educated, culturally sensitive health professionals who mirror the diverse populations they serve.
