Facilitators & Barriers to Minority Student Enrollment in Allied Health
This presentation will identify factors that can encourage and discourage minority students to enroll in allied health programs (e.g., athletic training, physical therapy). Learn to understand enrollment decision-making and to select appropriate recruitment strategies necessary to increase minority enrollment in allied health degree programs. Findings will explain why some programs are experiencing a decrease in student enrollment, highlighted by the conspicuous absence of minorities.
