Milagros Rosal
By Grant Welker
The medical school created this new administrative position this year, and for good reason. Health equity has been a major discussion point around the pandemic, with Black and Hispanic populations disproportionately hit by COVID-19.
Rosal has already devoted her career to researching chronic health conditions posing a significant burden to racial and ethnic minorities. A professor of population and quantitative health sciences, she was named to the new post in September, giving the school an important new figure to oversee its strategy for increasing recruitment and retention of a diverse faculty.
