UNR w88 sports betting alumnus focuses on diversity and inclusion

In 2016, the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine created the new administrative position of dean of admissions, diversity and inclusion. The goal for this position: find someone to focus on diversifying UNR w88 sports betting's applicant pool.

Enter Wilfredo w88 sports betting, M.D. into that role.

Torres, a graduate of UNR w88 sports betting's Class of 2010, believes that diversity and inclusion are at the heart of a successful medical school.

"Our job is to provide great physicians who are also representative of the communities they serve," w88 sports betting said. "By creating this position, it allows for a person with the sole purpose of focusing specifically on making sure we can do that."

Since taking the position, w88 sports betting has helped develop and strongly pushed for a fair and inclusive application process.

"We are constantly trying to fine-tune the way we interview our applicants," w88 sports betting said. "Today we are using a technique called a holistic review process, where we have multiple mini-interviews with applicants, which hopefully allows us to get a better idea of who they really are as individuals."

w88 sports betting also works with other efforts, like the post baccalaureate program to help applicants who may need improvement in some areas of their application to be viable candidates. Often times these students come from academically underserved populations.

"Sometimes a student might have struggled with something during their undergrad, but if given the chance to improve, they can become great applicants, and then great w88 sports betting."
Along with Nicole Jacobs, Ph.D., Torres also serves as co-chair for the Council of w88 sports betting Initiatives (CDI), which consists of students, faculty and staff.

"With the CDI, we try to come up with different ideas and programs to help push a culture of w88 sports betting in the school."

Torres explained that one of the CDI's main roles is working with UNR w88 sports betting student interest groups.

"Our goal is to mentor and help them develop into a more established interest group by helping them come up with new ideas and advancing their interest in w88 sports betting," Torres said. "We hope that by growing the presence of these groups, we are creating an environment that is more comfortable for all of our diverse students."

w88 sports betting believes that helping to ensure this type of safe environment is important now more than ever, due to the national climate.

"Given the climate we are in, where some students might be more subject to discrimination, or being put down, or told that they are less than who they are, I think that when an institution like ours stands up for w88 sports betting and these students, I think that carries a lot of weight in the community," Torres said.

Coming from a medical background-he still works as an Obstetrician-Gynecologist with Carson Medical Group, w88 sports betting admits that initially there was a learning curve to the new administrative role he finds himself in, but says that the position is well worth the time it takes to learn its inner workings.

"If there isn't someone constantly pushing this issue, I think there is a risk it could get forgotten," he said, adding: "w88 sports betting has to be at the forefront of our school in our actions, not just our words. I want our students to feel comfortable in their own skin, and to never have to be fearful of someone judging them for the color of their skin, or their culture, or sexual orientation. Diversity and w88 sports betting makes us all stronger."
