Advocacy

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

•    Community Medicine Rotation: a two week rotation where residents work at safety-net community clinics in our area including Fourth Street Clinic, People’s Health Clinic and Meliheh Free Clinic.
•    Resident volunteer nights at Geraldine E. King Women’s Center making dinner together.
