Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Our Internal Medicine Residency Program is committed to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. As a residency program, we recognize the importance of addressing racism and bias at a systemic level. We believe we must actively work to deliver equitable healthcare and address injustice. Below are a few examples of what we are doing as a program to engage:
• Monthly noon conference curriculum focused on DEI topics including case-based learning and community guest speakers.
• Safe Zone and Implicit Bias Training
• Holistic recruitment of residents from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented groups
