Diversity and Inclusion

We are very proud to introduce to you our diversity, equity, and inclusion panel. These amazing individuals came together from a variety of backgrounds to share their perspectives, experiences, and ongoing work to foster a diverse and inclusive environment within the department and support efforts that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the complex field of orthopedics.

Objectives:

• Build a department culture that advocates for all ethnicities, races, cultures, ages, abilities, sexual identities and religions.
• Amplify support for all minorities within the department with initiatives focused on recruitment, retention and mentorship.
• Provide a confidential and neutral environment to express concerns, resolve disputes, manage conflicts, and improve communication around diversity and inclusion issues that impact the members of our department.
• Organize and facilitate resident and faculty training in diversity, equity and inclusion.
• Promote delivery of unbiased care in our culturally diverse community.
