The Office for Diversity assists Mayo Clinic Education in the recruitment and retention of minority students, and helps create an open and welcoming environment for students, faculty and staff.   

The Office promotes diversity in education to ensure our learning  environments offer the added dimension that diverse students and faculty bring to the schools and ultimately to patient care. Eddie Greene, M.D., Director of the Office for Diversity, states “Diversity is essential to Mayo Clinic's goals of attracting, developing and retaining the best people.” 

A diverse health care team brings a range of experiences, perspectives and innovations to deliver the highest-quality health care. Our Office designs programs to attract students from diverse backgrounds, and supports and encourages diversity in Mayo Clinic education programs and careers.
