To deliver the highest quality of care, we need a team with a wide variety of ethnic, cultural, and experiential backgrounds. That's why we're actively recruiting learners, faculty members and staff from underrepresented minority groups, to help us improve health outcomes for all members of the diverse community we serve.
We have a responsibility to every patient who walks through our doors, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, language spoken, or other life experience that might differ from our own. An organizational culture rich in diverse experiences helps us provide compassionate, cross-cultural care as we lead the effort to eliminate health inequities across the globe.
Create a culture and climate of equity and inclusion, where diversity is nurtured, valued, and celebrated.
Our People
Recruit, develop, and retain a diverse workforce, at all levels.
Our Learners
Recruit, develop, support, and engage diverse learners.
Diversity in the Emory IM Residency Program
I don't go to work thinking, 'This is where my ceiling is.' I come up with ideas knowing that somebody's going to actually hear them, and who I am or what I look like is not going to stand in the way of that. And that is a really important thing for residents and medical students to see.
