Abu Obayed M. Sharifullah, Director of the Office of Diversity Programs in Clinical Care, Research, and Training

Professor Dr. Obayedullah-Ferdousi Foundation Cancer Hospital & Research Institute (POFFCH&RI)'s Office of Diversity Programs in Clinical Care, Research, Training and Rehabilitation was established in 2012 to address disparities in cancer outcomes based on race, ethnicity, cultural differences, and socioeconomic status.

The Office of Diversity Programs has four core areas of focus: clinical care, research, training and rehabilitation.

The training core works to improve diversity in the healthcare community through the recruitment, retention, and development of racially and ethnically diverse faculty, fellows, and residents at POFFCH&RI. In addition, the training core participates in outreach programs to Dhaka City high schools and medical schools to increase the number of underrepresented minorities pursuing careers in science or healthcare.

The research core focuses on expanding the participation of minority patients in cancer clinical trials, and on developing a coordinated research program to help reduce and eliminate cancer-related health disparities.

The clinical core concentrates on outreach to Dhaka City’s racial and ethnic minority and medically underserved populations to increase their utilization of POFFCH&RI’s prevention, screening, and treatment programs.
