Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Cultivating a Sense of Belonging We Promote Diversity

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine recognizes that a diverse work force and an inclusive and respectful work environment promote the mission of excellence in academic and health science pursuits at Emory University. We have a mission to promote the benefits of diverse faculty, staff, and trainees representing different cultures, ethnicities, religions, national origins, and races together in an environment that provides equity for sexual orientation, gender and gender identity, disability, age, political views, and veteran’s status.

Our Goals

  • Educate about unconscious bias, microaggressions, stereotypes and other related topics
  • Advocate for recognition and appreciation of faculty, staff, and trainees for their contributions at all levels

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

  • Abate bias, inequity, and exclusiveness
  • Create a culture of respect, equity, and inclusiveness built upon transparency and integrity

Diversity Logo, Department of Pathology

Our Logo

The logo for the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine’s Council for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was created by Jason Ooi and is an abstracted heart muscle tissue sample under a microscope. The heart is referenced as the locus because of its symbolical link to diversity, equity & inclusion. Heart cells have branches like arms stretched out and intercalated discs (like interlaced fingers) allowing them to form a larger tissue network.

These characteristics of heart cells are analogous to the department's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
