The Department of Surgery and the General Surgery Residency Program at the University of Utah believe it is imperative to build and nurture a culture of inclusion that respects the humanity of all peoples.

VISION: Where we are going

The Department of Surgery and the General Surgery Residency Program are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive climate for all trainees, faculty and staff. Diversity in our Department and Program will allow for a more innovative, collaborative, and productive group that will expand our influence and lead to improvements in education, research, and clinical care. We recognize that unique challenges exist for ethnic, gender, and social minorities, and we will advocate for increased representation and equal opportunities across all identities. As surgical leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure that increased diversity, equity, and inclusion are high priorities both internal and external to our Department and Program.

The Department of Surgery and the General Surgery Residency Program are working closely with the Office for Health Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (OHEDI) which is overseen by the division of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion within the University of Utah Health (UUH).

MISSION: What we do

The Department of Surgery and the General Surgery Residency Program are building diversity within its members and nurturing a culture of equity and inclusion that respects the humanity of all.

 

GME's Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-racism Leadership Strategy

In August 2020, the Office of Graduate Medical Education (GME) convened a new sub-committee: the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-racism Leadership Strategy (IDEALS) Committee. This committee is open to all program directors, program managers, and trainees.

Its mandate is to formulate U of U Health's philosophy and operationalize the means with which we will address inequity in graduate medical education and in health care provision. To realize this daunting endeavor, we have five workgroups within the IDEALS committee
