TCHD- Texas Conference on Health Disparities:
BIG Data to Enhance Health Equity
June 6-7, 2024
In Texas, profound health disparities persist among racial and ethnic minorities compared to the general population, with significantly higher death rates from diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer among Hispanics and African Americans. The state's minority population, surpassing non-Hispanic whites since 2004, continues to grow, particularly in immigrant gateway areas like the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex, where over seven million residents, including a significant portion of first- and second-generation Americans, reside. These disparities are compounded by factors such as a shortage of minority health care professionals, low health literacy, and unequal exposures to environmental risks. The urgent need for over 350,000 health professionals, particularly to serve non-white populations, by 2040 underscores the necessity for initiatives like the UNT Health Science Center's Texas Center for Health Disparities (TCHD), designated as a National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Center of Excellence. Through research, training, and outreach efforts, TCHD aims to address the root causes of health disparities, provide opportunities for minority students and faculty, and empower communities with resources for disease prevention and health education.

Course Description
The AIM program, is a mentor training program developed at California State University Long Beach (CSULB) as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) Initiative. The overarching goals of AIM are to provide a variety of engaging faculty training resources to promote student success through positive and inclusive mentoring, particularly for mentors of undergraduate research students. Because student involvement in high impact practices such as research, scholarly, and creative activities boost student success – particularly when associated with strong mentorship, learning the best practices for mentoring is a critical component of facilitating student success.
CSULB BUILD's innovative mentor training program, tailored for mentors of undergraduate students, builds off of NRMN/CIMER programs, and is now available to all members here on MyNRMN.
| | |
Course Structure
The AIM Program consists of 35 videos across six learning modules that ideally are accompanied by six synchronous discussions to build a community of practice around mentoring on your campus. AIM provides videos featuring faculty and staff members from around the CSULB campus who share tips and ideas on best practices in mentoring, along with re-enactments of student/professor scenarios that are based on real mentoring stories collected from the CSULB campus community. The AIM modules are structured to meet key learning outcomes and include: Communicating with your Mentee; Inclusive Mentoring; Cultivating Mentee Growth & Development; Facilitating Mentee Health & Wellbeing; Mentee-Centered Mentoring; and a Mentoring Toolbox. These modules not only cover critical topics such as social justice mentoring and issues of equity, combating discrimination and culturally aware mentoring, they also help to define the broad role(s) of an undergraduate mentor. In addition to the videos, AIM ‘Top Tips’ handouts for each of the 35 episodes are provided to participants, along with additional outside resources. Optional podcasts on additional topics provide additional learning opportunities. Following completion of the self-paced six module quizzes that follow the video episodes, members earn a certificate of completion.
