Education & Research

Orlando Health Graduate Medical Education Diversity Council serves as an advocate to help remove barriers so minority and underrepresented students, faculty and staff find a sense of belonging. Our initiatives recognize the importance of diversity among healthcare professionals and seek to address disparities via education, scholarships and grants.
