The Network was instrumental in providing me the resources, skills, information and most importantly the support needed to go through the rigorous medical school application process --Dr. Humberto Sifuentes, UIC College of Medicine, 2005 Graduate
The mission of the Hispanic Center of Excellence is dedicated to increase the capacity of the College of Medicine to admit and graduate a greater number of Latino physicians; to promote the recruitment and development of Latino faculty; to foster faculty and student research on minority health issues; to enhance Latino student performance in medical education; to expand curricular opportunities that address cultural competence and the health care needs of the underserved minority communities and contribute to the elimination of health care disparities.
