GME Diversity and Inclusion

Our program's mission is to create a welcoming environment of inclusion and respect. We strive to create a workforce of physicians who are prepared to serve and care for all people and dedicated to reducing health disparities and achieving health equality.

We value diversity in race, gender, culture, background, experience, status, abilities, and perspectives. We believe diversity helps enrich individual and professional experiences.
