Our Differences Make Us Stronger
The Office of Equity and Inclusion is dedicated to fostering an inclusive culture and climate in which all can thrive and achieve their full potential, and in doing so, enrich the health and well-being of our local, national, and global community. Our office drives progress toward strategic priorities including awareness, learning, and growing; inclusive culture and climate; community engagement; and research and innovation.
Emory School of Medicine and our clinical sites have a responsibility to every patient who walks through our doors, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, language spoken, or other life experiences that might differ from our own. An organizational culture rich in diverse backgrounds helps us provide compassionate, cross-cultural care as we lead the effort to eliminate health inequities across the globe.
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 actively recruit and support 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.
