DOM OutList

Pride flag

The DOM LGBTQ+ Council has initiated a department-wide “Out List” to better enable us to promote visibility and foster community for LGBTQ+ folks within the Department of Medicine, as well as enable students, staff, trainees, and faculty to identify LGTBQ+ members with similar interests and offer readily available contact information.
