WSU students represent more than 20 different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. With one of the most ethnically diverse student bodies, the WSU School of Medicine ranks seventh in the nation for the number of underrepresented minority graduates, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
The percentage of African-American residents and fellows in advanced training programs at WSU-affiliated hospitals is nearly three times the national average. Overall, WSU ranks seventh of the nation’s medical schools in the number of full-time faculty who are African American, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
Over the 16-year period from 1981-1996, Wayne State University has led the nation’s medical schools in graduating African-American medical students, exclusive of the traditional minority schools of Howard, Morehouse and Meharry Universities.
