Updated OAA/Minority Serving Institution Geo-Mapping Tool
The OAA/Minority Serving Institution (MSI) geo-mapping tool has been updated with data from the Academic Year 2021-2022 OAA Health Services Training (HST) Report and the United States Department of Education. Updates to this tool include new map layers for all American Native, Native Hawaiian institutions, and Native American Serving Non-Tribal Institutions. All health professions education programs offered at MSIs are now displayed on the map and are not limited to high priority professions. Before setting up a new affiliation, please make sure that the health education program is accredited by the recognized professional accreditation agency. This information is detailed in the updated web application.
