The OBGYN DEI Committee provides a forum to operationalize strategic initiatives within the Department. It is comprised of an engaged, interprofessional team of faculty, house officers, nurses, and staff (clinical and administrative). The Committee meets quarterly.
Our Vision
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology's plan for diversity, equity, and inclusion was developed with input from faculty, staff, and house officers, and strategically aligned with the following key institutional priorities:
- Create an equitable and inclusive campus climate
- Recruit, retain, and develop a diverse community
- Support innovative and inclusive scholarship and teaching
