Mission
At the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson, the Office of Access, Community & Belonging is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where every individual is valued, respected and empowered to thrive. We celebrate diversity and cultivate advocates and allies, recognizing that cultural responsiveness and a commitment to servingness are essential for reducing inequities in health care. Through transformative initiatives and collaborative partnerships, we enhance the training of a diverse physician and research workforce focused on improving health outcomes and strengthening communities for all.
We respectfully acknowledge the University of Arizona is on the land and territories of Indigenous peoples. Today, Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized tribes, with Tucson being home to the O’odham and the Yaqui. Committed to diversity and inclusion, the University strives to build sustainable relationships with sovereign Native Nations and Indigenous communities through education offerings, partnerships, and community service.
