Our Purpose
The Committee on Minority Faculty Advancement is committed to supporting faculty from underrepresented groups in medicine and the biomedical sciences (URGMBS) by addressing the professional advancement needs, advocating and facilitating the dissemination of knowledge and skills, and providing resources necessary to achieve successful advancement of careers in academic medicine at the University of Washington. In addition, this committee will highlight the unique needs of URM faculty to aid in the recruitment, retention, and promotion of URM faculty, to increase the diversity of the medical school faculty.
