What We're Doing

It is our goal to build a culture that recognizes the contributions of all individuals. Faculty Academic Advancement, Leadership and Inclusion is collecting faculty peer or self-nominations for each month.

The School of Medicine has developed a toolkit of anti-racism resources to help address the need for our collective education, engagement, and growth. While diversity, equity, and inclusion have been championed in several areas, there is more work to be done.

Racism & Social Justice Webinar Series

In our commitment against racism, hate, and injustice we have created a series of webinars to support intercultural fluencies and frank conversations through humble inquiry. The series explores the significance of Juneteenth, the African-American experience, bias in clinical decision making, COVID-19 in the African-American community and much more.

Implicit-Unconscious Bias Education Program

The School of Medicine has over 30 certified unconscious bias facilitators who engage with session participants to explain the impact unconscious/implicit bias has on workplace decision-making, the concept of microaggressions, and how to mitigate bias in research, education, and practice.

Speakers Bureau

As the School of Medicine advances towards equity, inclusion, and community engagement, we have created a speakers bureau specifically for our faculty who self-identify as Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) and/or women.
