RAP SESSION

A monthly one-hour session for the Assistant Dean for Diversity and Inclusion to meet with underrepresented racial and ethnic minority (URM) medical students and discuss current social, political, and health-related “Hot Topics”. 

URM medical students are asked to suggest “Hot Topics” for the rap sessions.  Frequently the sessions are co-facilitated by the Assistant Dean for Diversity and Inclusion and medical students in their final year.    

Snacks are served!
