The Hispanic Center of Excellence at Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City has received $562,902 in federal funding from the Department of Health and Human Services. The funding will be used to prepare the next generation of medical students to address the healthcare needs of Latinos throughout the New York area.
The Hispanic Center is a multi-discipline program that helps new physicians provide care targeted to the specific needs of Latinos and it also recruits Latinos for careers in medicine. It focuses on seven areas: improved student performance, faculty development, information resources, faculty and student research, student training, a competitive applicant pool, and cultural competency.
