Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Our Commitments

---

In the Department of Emergency Medicine, we believe that diversity will power change. Our vision is to change the world with emergency care excellence. To do this, we will enhance and foster a learning community and a mentoring culture that is committed to diversity and inclusive excellence. 

We need to engage everyone to transform health care and improve human health: to collaborate, discover, and innovate; to accelerate and lead; and to improve and transform care, health, and well-being. Our learning community empowers diverse, multidisciplinary individuals and teams to work together towards these goals. Diverse perspectives, experiences, and expertise are both a value and a mission.  We are committed to an equitable and inclusive environment where everyone has cultural safety to be authentic, belong, and thrive.

At the Department of Emergency Medicine, we believe that:

• Diversity strengthens our department by transforming care so we can transform the lives of our patients and in communities. 
• Through teaching and learning, we change the world for current and future patients, health care providers, and scientists.
• By infusing teams with diverse perspectives and expertise, we collectively tackle the greatest challenges of our time with our greatest resources—our people and community.

We welcome you to join us as we discover, develop and disseminate from the Front Line!
