Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity

The UMass Chan Medical School is firmly committed to an environment free of all forms of discrimination, harassment, intimidation, uncivil behavior or other acts of intolerance. UMass Chan will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, covered veteran status or any other characteristics protected by law.

The Diversity and Equal Opportunity Office (DEOO) is charged with oversight for the University’s affirmative action and equal opportunity policies and for monitoring practices, procedures and programs designed to reach this goal. The DEOO works with all departments and services of the University to reasonably accommodate persons with disabilities or specific religious convictions if such accommodations do not present an unreasonable burden for either the institution or the program of study.

Disabled or impaired persons who need assistance to access the information in this catalogue should contact the DEOO at 508-856-2179; TDD: 508-856-6395.

This catalogue is intended to provide academic and nonacademic information about graduate study at UMass Chan to persons who work and study here, to persons who may be interested in applying for admission and to the general public. UMass Chan is fully accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
