Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

The Department of Medicine unequivocally stands in support of ending systemic racism and we are committed to being an anti-racist community.

We are fully committed to combating racism, as well as improving equity, diversity, and inclusion in all that we do — and so we remain be committed to:

Using research, clinical care, and education to fight back against structural racism and injustice that leads to persistent violence and health and economic disparities.
Being aware of the injustice and inequality that we encounter, and addressing it with all our power.
You, members of our Department. Reach out when you need us, as we remain committed to being stronger together.

We understand solidarity statements must be reinforced by demonstrable action within our community. We ask you to join us as we continue this important work.
