Area of Science:

  • Food and Nutritional Sciences
  • Allied Health Professions

Background:

  • The allied health fields require greater multicultural professional representation.
  • University-based programs can address this need through targeted initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a university-based mentoring program designed to increase the number of multicultural professionals in food and nutritional sciences.
  • To evaluate the program's effectiveness in student development and career placement.

Main Methods:

  • A conceptual model encompassing program inputs, a transformational process (professional development, social support, recognition), and outcomes (participation, graduation, placement).
  • Descriptive statistics were used to analyze outcome data from program participants.

Main Results:

  • Between 1993 and 2001, 49 students completed the program.
  • A high percentage of students graduated (88%) and were successfully placed in graduate programs (23) or professional positions (21).

Conclusions:

  • The described mentoring model effectively produced multicultural graduates who entered health professions.
  • This approach contributes to diversifying the allied health workforce.
