Due to underrepresentation of minorities in the allied health professions. Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, initiated the Allied Health Careers Opportunity Program (AHCOP) to increase enrollment and retention of minority students. Participating in the program are the clinical psychology, dental hygiene, and medical technology programs that combined resources to sponsor activities conducive to improving the numbers of minorities in allied health. Activities have included orientation programs, bimonthly seminars on relevant topics, tutorials, and counseling. In the three years since the program's inception, results have shown positive impacts on both the university, through increased enrollment and retention of minority students in the targeted allied health programs, and the community, through employment of allied health program minority graduates.
由于少数族裔在健康相关专业领域的代表性不足，位于弗吉尼亚州诺福克的奥多明尼昂大学启动了健康相关职业机会项目（AHCOP），以增加少数族裔学生的入学率和留校率。参与该项目的有临床心理学、口腔卫生和医学技术专业，这些专业整合资源，开展有助于提高健康相关专业领域少数族裔人数的活动。活动包括迎新项目、关于相关主题的双月研讨会、辅导课程和咨询服务。自该项目启动三年以来，结果表明，这对大学产生了积极影响，即增加了目标健康相关专业中少数族裔学生的入学率和留校率；对社区也产生了积极影响，即健康相关专业少数族裔毕业生实现了就业。
