Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We align with the Department of Psychiatry's DEI Mission and Values.

 

DIVERSITY

We commit to increasing diversity, which is expressed in myriad forms, including race and ethnicity, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, language, culture, national origin, religious commitments, age, (dis)ability status and political perspective.

EQUITY

We commit to working actively to challenge and respond to bias, harassment, and discrimination. We are committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all persons and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, religion, height, weight, or veteran status.

INCLUSION

We commit to pursuing deliberate efforts to ensure that our campus is a place where differences are welcomed, different perspectives are respectfully heard and where every individual feels a sense of belonging and inclusion. We know that by building a critical mass of diverse groups on campus and creating a vibrant climate of inclusiveness, we can more effectively leverage the resources of diversity to advance our collective capabilities.

ANTI-RACISM

We acknowledge the negative impact of structural and systemic racism on the United States health care system. To ensure an inclusive and equitable training environment, and to provide optimal care for our diverse community of patients, we have an unwavering commitment to racial and social justice.
