| Current demographics reveal a substantial equity gap in the health care sector – only 5% of physicians identify as Black, only 11% of the RN workforce is male and just 27% of board members at the top 100 U.S. hospitals are women.
To help create opportunities that support more diverse representation in health care, CommonSpirit Health, in partnership with Dignity Health Global Education (DHGE), launched the CommonSpirit Equity Impact Scholarship. This $3 million scholarship program is open to health care professionals of all backgrounds who are looking to develop their knowledge and expertise through skills-based education and training.
This Equity Impact Scholarship spans 11 certificates and degree programs that DHGE offers with scholarships ranging from $1,500 - $9,500 depending on the program. Applicants are invited to tell their story in a personal statement on why they think they will contribute to diversity, equity and inclusion in health care and why their communities will benefit.
