Diversity
The faculty and leadership of the Department of Medicine embrace diversity as a core value. We recognize that a diverse faculty is best suited to:
- Provide multiple options for mentors and role models for junior faculty, trainees and medical students.
- Create translational, interdisciplinary research teams that will challenge established paradigms in the medical sciences.
- Deliver culturally sensitive exceptional care without exception to our uniquely diverse patient population.
- Advocate effectively improving the health of our patients, community, nation and world.
The diversity of our faculty, trainees and patients contributes to the Department of Medicine being a vibrant place to investigate, teach, advocate, and practice. Hence, the Department’s leadership and faculty members commit to recruit, retain, support, advance, and promote a diverse faculty.
