Roseman University College of Medicine

Office of Access, Opportunity, and Collaboration
“We strive to create a culture where everyone feels valued and respected. This means fully appreciating differences in thought, expression, aspirations, and objectives. RUCOM values the many ways in which our medical students, faculty, and staff are different, including, but not limited to, age, life experiences, gender, physical ability, and geographical background.”

Senior Executive Dean for Access, Opportunity, and Collaboration Cheryl Brewster was also the founding executive dean for diversity, equity and inclusion at Roseman University College of Medicine and before that, Associate Dean of Diversity at Florida International University’s College of Medicine. Brewster’s work includes “programs to specifically increase the number of BIPOC [Black, Indigenous and People of Color] students in medical school.”

Her teaching areas include “Health Equity” and her research interests include “Diversity in Academic Medicine.”
