Diversity Resources
Social determinants of illness are the true number one cause of disease in the world. For this reason, many campus-wide efforts come together at Dykes Library to make available resources which promote knowledge and learning relating to the elimination of health disparities.
Collections at Dykes library include information relating to cross-cultural competencies and care, minority and diversity studies, underrepresented minorities in health care professions, academic and research success, and other aspects relating to the contexts of health care, communities and individuals.
Dykes Library wishes to thank the following KUMC partnerships which also provide funding and resources for this collection.
