The Changemakers: Erik Brodt, M.D.

Creating pathways for American Indian and Alaska Native students in medicine is a powerful effort at the OHSU Northwest Native American Center of Excellence (NNACoE). Innovative programs designed to support the talent of Native youth encourage greater diversity within the health care field. 

Erik Brodt, M.D., associate dean for Native American Health and director of NNACoE, is passionate about fostering equity and reshaping the narrative around Native representation in the health workforce. From the Wy’east Medicine Pathway to community-based externships, these efforts are breaking down barriers and inspiring future generations of American Indian and Alaska Native health professionals.
