Centers of Excellence
The Centers of Excellence (COE) Program is designed to strengthen the national capacity to train underrepresented minority (URM) students in the health professions. COE supports programs at certain Historically Black Colleges and Universities, as well as Hispanic and
American Indian COEs at health professions schools (schools of medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry,
pharmacy, and other public and nonprofit or educational entities and graduate programs in mental or behavioral health) that train a significant number of the targeted minority students. COE also supports "Other" Minority Health Professions Education programs at health professions schools having enrollments of underrepresented minorities above the national average.
