COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Our institutions are dedicated to providing our patients with the very best health care and to improving the health and well-being of the diverse communities we serve. To further this goal, our program embraces all forms of diversity and we seek to support and expand the representation of individuals, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or disability, within our training program. We believe a diverse body of fellows allows trainees to learn from one another’s lived experiences, thereby developing deeper empathy, understanding, and respect for the communities from which we come and which we serve and helping us all to develop into culturally competent physicians.
