We believe that a diverse health care workforce is essential to address the needs of the communities we serve and reduce the health disparities that keep underserved populations from living a healthy, self-determined life. The June 29 Supreme Court decision on affirmative action does not change this. The summer 2023 issue of UIC Applied Health Sciences Magazine highlights some examples of this commitment.

"As teachers, clinicians and researchers from different but related professions, we work together to help individuals, communities and society. We seek solutions to problems so tightly connected and intertwined—poverty, illness, discrimination, lack of education—that each must be considered within the context of the others. This means the act of healing is carried out in different and complementary ways. We’re proud to highlight some of them in this issue of UIC Applied Health Sciences magazine," writes #UICAHS dean Carlos J. Crespo.

Rick Wild talks about DHD 400
#UICDHD alumnus Richard Wild '20 BS DHD talks about his experience working with Circa Pintig as part of his DHD 400 capstone project. "I recommend DHD 400 for anyone with a stake in #disability or just an interest in broadening their view of the human experience. Disability is easily ignored, it's made invisible but it's all around us if we look hard enough. DHD 400 made that reality really tangible by fascilitating professional connections with organizations. around #Chicago that care about these issues. Getting to work in the community with people who care about making the world more equitable and safe for eveybody, for everybody, for people who are often marginalized was a special expereince. I felt like I was making a real difference in people's lives."
