Public Health Perspectives

Information systems can play an instrumental role in assessing any hidden biases in admissions and enrollment for any university, but it is especially important for public health programs that seek to ensure that their graduates, the future public health practitioners are as diverse as the communities that they will be serving.  Dr. Maseru shared insights from his and his colleagues’ work at his institution in assessing any systematic biases concerning diversity and inclusion from data about those admitted into the program but also those that were accepted but declined and those that were not accepted by the program (rejected).
