From 1999 to 2009, the Eliminating Health Disparities Pre-doctoral Fellowship Program provided specialized education and mentoring to African American graduate students in public health. Fellows received a public health degree, coursework in understanding and eliminating health disparities, experiential learning, mentored research, and professional network building with African American role models. We describe successful strategies for recruiting and training fellows and make 5 recommendations for those seeking to increase workforce diversity in public health: (1) build a community of minority students, not a string of individual recruits; (2) reward mentoring; (3) provide a diverse set of role models and mentors; (4) dedicate staffing to assure a student-centered approach; and, (5) commit to training students with varying levels of academic refinement.
从 1999 年到 2009 年，消除健康差异博士前研究员计划为非裔美国研究生提供公共卫生专业教育和指导。研究员获得公共卫生学位、了解和消除健康差异课程、体验式学习、指导研究以及与非裔美国榜样建立专业网络。我们描述了招募和培训研究员的成功策略，并为那些寻求增加公共卫生劳动力多样性的人提出了 5 项建议：（1）建立少数民族学生社区，而不是一系列的个人招募；（2）奖励指导；（3）提供多样化的榜样和导师；（4）投入人员确保以学生为中心的方法；以及，（5）承诺培训学术水平不同的学生。
