Our Differences Make Us Stronger
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 in medicine 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.
2021 Executive Summary for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategic Plan
The School of Medicine is on a journey. Moving from excellence to eminence requires an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, principles that must be more than promises. They must define who we are and how we engage with each other and with the community we serve. We’re grateful for the hard work of so many faculty, staff and learners who helped craft the roadmap for our DEI journey. This journey is bold, purposely provocative and in alignment with the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) national discourse to move us as an institution towards being an antiracist organization. This executive summary provides a broad overview of the plan and our six strategic goals.
