“The fact that the nation’s health professions have not kept pace with changing demographics may be an even greater cause of disparities in health access and outcomes than the persistent lack of health insurance for tens of millions of Americans.”

THE SULLIVAN COMMISSION ON
DIVERSITY IN THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE

Welcome to the Lambert Lab at SUNY Downstate

Our research group studies workforce diversity and mentorship in scientific training pathways. We are also interested in understanding how disparities within the health workforce impact health outcomes. We are a part of a vibrant health equity research community at SUNY Downstate and in the Brooklyn Health Disparities Center.
