The Department of Medicine (DOM) is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and antiracism work. We are focused on promoting culture change and community building, enhancing recruitment and retention, and advancing the careers of underrepresented in medicine (URiM) residents, fellows, and faculty as well as women faculty and trainees.
Please visit our DOM Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion website.
The DOM's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts focus on the recruitment and retention of residents, faculty, and fellows from backgrounds historically underrepresented in medicine (URiM). We also focus on the advancement of the careers of women faculty. We have developed and implemented a wide array of programs to support the career development and advancement of URiM and women trainees and faculty.
We have undertaken initiatives to promote cultural change at the department and hospital level, including racial justice training for faculty, residents, and fellows, and bystander training to combat and address microaggressions. We are committed to communicating this work and the many accomplishments of our URiM community through our URiM Faculty and Trainee Directories, Twitter account, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion website.
We foster a vibrant community of URiM residents, fellows, and faculty through innovative career development programs, mentorship programs, and events that promote networking and connection, including special programs tailored to early career URiM and women faculty. We aim to ensure that our large and growing community of URiM faculty and trainees are a vital component of the overall DOM community who are celebrated, welcomed, valued, and respected.
The DOM Health Equity Innovation Pilot (HEIP) is our signature program aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate equity projects within the DOM. This innovative health equity pilot grant program serves to advance scholarship related to health equity, increase commitment to advancing health equity within the DOM faculty and trainees, while advancing health equity for our patients and community.
For over a century, a leader in patient care, medical education and research, with expertise in virtually every specialty of medicine and surgery.
