A program designed to help m i
norities gain a better understanding
o f the health professions has re
cently been implemented at the U ni
versity o f O regon H e a lth Science
Center.
According to Beth B ritto n , asso
ciate director for the O ffice o f M i
nority A ffairs, thirty-five local high
school students will have the chance
to work on a one-to-one basis with
faculty members from the various
departments.
“ Young people need d irectio n
early in their lives and our program
is designed to do just that. W e want
to help them get on the right track
early in life because they can end up
wasting a lot o f energy which no
once can afford to d o ,” she said.
The program came into existence
student at the center. A ll agreed that
there was a serious need for this type
after a series o f meetings with D r. J.
Bentley, President o f the Senate fac
ulty, D r. Leonard Laster, President
o f the H ealth Science Center, Kay
Toran, A ffirm ative Action Director
fo r the governor’ s o ffice, and D r.
W alter C. Reynolds, the first Black
o f program and the center is com
mitted to the effort.
M s. B ritton explained the selec
tion process.
“ Last spring we sponsored a field
trip to the H e a lth Science C en ter
and we provided them with lectures,
lunch, a tour, and they all had the
opportunity to talk to faculty mem
bers about th e ir possible career
choice, said the native o f Gary, In
d iana and a graduate o f Purdue
University.
Britton also noted that there are
only 75 minorities out o f 1500 stu
dents at the Health Science Center
and stressed the need for more qual
ified applicants to apply.
“ The program can be used as a
mechanism to step up m in o rity re
cruitment,” she said.
D r. C. Keith Claycomb, director,
M in o rity Student A ffa irs , believes
that the program will be highly suc
cessful and he looks fo rw ard to
working with the students.
“ W e ’ re living in a p o litic al c li
mate where we have to stay commit
ted to these types o f programs,” he
said. “ I just wish that we could get
more people involved because it can
be a highly rewarding career experi
ence. The cou n try is m oving in a
very technical direction and people
in the health sciences will be in great
demand.”
When questioned about her per
sonal expectations o f the program,
Ms. Britton did not hesitate to make

the following comment.
“ M y personal expectations are to
increase the interest in the com
munity and in the program. I want
to establish a stable friendship with
the community and I want them to
know that we are available. I t ’ s a
brand new baby and we’re going to
really get it o f f the g ro u n d ,” she
said.
Students will work in departments
such as Dentistry, Preventive M edi
cine, Psychology, and a host .o f
other areas. Ms. B ritto n ’s and D r.
C la y to n ’ s fin al advice to students
wanting a career in the health pro
fessions is to learn good com muni
cations skills, take and master all
the science you can, and to find an
area that’s comfortable for you.
