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.
We plan to use these funds to support students who are underrepresented in medicine pursue professional development opportunities that are related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
One of the primary strategic pillars of our office is awareness, learning, and growing and this fund would support students who are future medical doctors and scientists looking to build their skillset in diversity, equity, and inclusion competencies. This would be a new initiative that would allow us to grow our ability to support our students in this area.
