Health fair aimed at diversity MILWAUKEE — Diversity Matters will host a public health career and internship fair from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Urban Ecology Center — Riverside Park, 1500 E. Park Place. Local high school and college students can meet one-on-one with "Public Health Superheroes" who support diversity in the public health industry. Attendees will be able to learn more about the public health organizations in their area, the col- legiate programs that offer public health- related degrees and a potential public health career path. Raffle prizes and draw- ings will also take place. "To positively move the needle with disparities reduction, prevention and social determinants efforts, the public health workforce must reflect the demo- graphics of the community, proportional- ly," said Lilliann M. Paine, "Public Health Superheroine" and program manager at the Center for Urban Population Health, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee College of Health Sciences. At the national level, data reflects that while 25 percent of the U.S. population isfrom underrepresented racial and eth- nic groups, only 10 percent of health pro- fessionals are from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups. Wisconsin has similar, and in some regions, much wider gaps. In 2008, about 14 percent of individuals served were Hispanic, but only 5 percent of workers were Hispanic. Similarly, 13 percent of individuals served were African- American, while 4 percent of workers were African-American. Diversity Matters is an initiative, sup- ported by the Medical College of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Public Health Association and the Wisconsin Division of Public Health that aims to increase the diversity of Wisconsin's public health workforce.
