Those in the neighborhood who need emergency care
Patients who have historically come to the Charity
system and feel that they get the best care there
Those without insurance – no “wallet biopsy” at
University Hospital
Our missions:
Diversity within our residency to reflect the diversity
of our patients
Cultural competence within the residency
Delivery of the best possible care to our patients
Applications
Applications of medically underrepresented
minority backgrounds are encouraged
Meet and greets are arranged for applicants to
meet other residents and faculty from varied
backgrounds
Mentoring
We are seeking out mentoring relationships with
historically African American medical schools such
as Meharry Medical College
We are pursuing additional relationships with
summer programs and community colleges aimed
at increased exposure of future physicians in our
community to the field of Emergency Medicine
We look forward to an increased mentoring role
with members of SNMA from both Tulane and
LSU
Curriculum
Conference presentations aimed at exploring
health care disparities and the history of racism in
the medical field

disparities
