Commitment to Health Equity and Diversity
Our school has a history of standing against barriers to health that are based on race or ethnicity; religion; socioeconomic status; gender; age; mental health; cognitive, sensory, or physical disabilities; sexual orientation or gender identity. This legacy informs every aspect of Columbia Nursing, from educational and research programs to clinical practice to administrative and operational strategies to policies. We are also committed to supporting faculty and a student body as diverse as the patients we serve. Learn more about our commitment to health equity and diversity.
