Samuel Merritt University | Diversity Employer

Transforming healthcare. Transforming communities.

Samuel Merritt University delivers a high-quality health sciences education with a focus on
compassion and community engagement. Our students become skilled and caring professionals
motivated to improve health outcomes and increase access to care.

Transforming the Experience of Care
SMU is an integral part of patient care in Northern California. We’re one of the largest educators of registered nurses in California, and many of the physical and occupational therapists, physician assistants, and podiatric physicians who provide care in the region are graduates of our programs. SMU is affiliated with Sutter Health, a not-for-profit network providing comprehensive health care in more than 100 Northern California communities.

At SMU, students receive personalized instruction and gain hands-on clinical experience early in their programs. Early clinical exposure, in our view, is key to training students in the technical skills and sound reasoning needed to provide care and prepare them to transform the experience of care in diverse communities.

Create a Culture of Inclusion, Innovation, and Excellence
At SMU, we prepare students to become compassionate health leaders committed to advancing health equity. Through our classroom and clinical education, we develop leaders that reflect regional and community demographics. Much of our focus and outreach is geared toward reducing health care disparities in underserved and vulnerable communities.

Our dedication to helping underserved populations begins at our regional campuses. We understand that diversity is integral to a thriving society, so we’re proud of our diverse and welcoming community.

At SMU, diversity includes group and social differences such as race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, first language spoken, nationality, physical and mental abilities, learning styles, life experiences, and religion. We aim to recruit and retain a diverse faculty, staff, and students, which, in turn, contributes to creating a more diverse health care workforce. Our campus community members adhere to a code of ethics, which emphasizes integrity and positive interactions with others.
