About CAHDRE

 

The Center for Addressing Health Disparities through Research and Education (CAHDRE) brings health career pathway programs together to create more opportunities for Alaskans. An award from the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) to Alaska WWAMI Director and Associate Dean Dennis Valenzeno created the first NIH-funded Center of Excellence on UAA’s campus.

 

CAHDRE is also creating new pathway programs. It is partnering with the Anchorage School District in implementing its new Health Career Academy. With Alaska WWAMI and others, it is developing a post baccalaureate program for students aspiring to graduate-level health professional careers.
