Culture, Resilience, and Community Health Partnership Committee
The Department of OB/GYN believes that including people from all walks of life, strengthens our work and significantly increases the reach and vibrancy of our missions in clinical care, education, research, and service to our community. We have established our department's Culture, Resilience, and Community Health Partnership committee to further our efforts.
The committee seeks to increase retention, recruitment, and advancement of faculty, trainees, nursing, research, and administrative and ancillary staff from a broad range of backgrounds. We also seek to engender a culture that embraces, celebrates, and actively cultivates belonging throughout our department.
Committee Activities
The committee organizes activities, enhances the visibility of health equity events throughout the University, and, in partnership with the Office of Academic Culture and Community, is developing the Departmental Culture, Resilience, and Community Health Partnership Action Plan. We work with our trainee and faculty hiring programs to ensure that perspectives from different areas of representation are incorporated into our recruitment efforts.
We routinely survey our faculty, trainees, and staff to understand our climate and environment, and we commit to further enhancing the supportive culture of the OB/GYN Department.
