The Education Core is led by co-directors who oversee educational programs related to health equity in both campuses at Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medicine. Under the leadership of Education Core Co-Director Susana Morales, MD, the Education Core in NYC received a 4-year $2.7 million Center of Excellence (CoE) grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in 2018. The Education Core in NYC focuses on engaging Underrepresented in Medicine (URM) populations to pursue health-related professions through the Diversity Center of Excellence. The Education Core in Ithaca encourages undergraduates to pursue the newly formed Minor in Inequality Studies Health Equity Track as of Spring 2019.
