Mission Statement
| The Native
American Center
of Excellence was founded in 1992 under the auspices of the University
of Washington School of Medicine and Walt Hollow, M.D. Dr. Hollow was
the
first Native American graduate of the UW School of Medicine (in 1975),
and the Center was the result of a HRSA-funded grant sponsored by the
Department
of Health and Human Services.
The primary
goals of the
Center of Excellence are to:
- Attract
Native American and
Alaska Native students into the study and practice of medicine;
- Recognize
our Native healing
traditions and integrate them into the Western medical education our
students
pursue;
- Provide
the Indian Health Pathway
certification program;
- Provide
continuing professional
development of Native physicians;
- Encourage
Native researchers
and research into Native health issues; and,
- Support
multicultural outreach
and diversity efforts at the University of Washington with and through
the School of Medicine's Office of Multicultural Affairs activities and
programs.
