The Office for Minority Affairs was honored on July 16, 2004 with the North Carolina Health Careers Access Program (NC-HCAP) Leadership Award. This award was granted in recognition of OMA's focus on campus diversity and inclusion and in appreciation of the efforts of the Office for Minority Affairs to increase the number of underrepresented youth attending North Carolina colleges and universities.

Since 1971, NC-HCAP has served thousands of students, administrators, practitioners, health professionals, advisors, health professions programs, community health agencies and local Area Health Education Centers (AHEC). This mission of NC-HCAP is to increase the number of individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who are trained, educated and employed in the health professions. More about NC-HCAP
