AY23 EVI Priority Goals by Department/Section
On a yearly basis, EVI engages each department and section leadership team on their Clinician Vitality Survey and demographic data. Those leadership teams then share their own data with their faculty and identify goals and actions toward advancing equity and vitality. In order to hone our collective efforts, EVI asked departments/sections to identify one priority goal for AY23.
We are sharing this year’s priority goals to highlight equity, vitality, and inclusion efforts at the department/section level, and connect local champions, leaders, and allies.
You can find a summary of past department/section efforts here.
