2024 DEIB Annual Report
We are proud to share our first annual report, showcasing our many DEIB efforts.
Overview
We are passionate about fostering a community that not only embraces the richness of diverse perspectives but actively celebrates them. Our commitment lies in propelling positive change and promoting inclusivity in every aspect of our academic and professional journey.
We firmly believe that a diverse healthcare workforce is not just essential but critical in advancing patient care and medical research. Through unwavering dedication, we strive to support staff, faculty, fellows, and residents from historically underrepresented groups in medicine. By doing so, we aspire to harness the power of unique experiences, talents, and insights that fuel progress in our field.
Our vision
Our vision goes beyond mere numbers – we recognize the profound importance of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and heard. We actively work to dismantle barriers that impede growth and offer unwavering support to all members of our community. Together, we weave a tapestry of inclusion, belonging, compassion, and excellence that drives us towards achieving better health outcomes and a more equitable world.
