Antiracism Committee
The Department of Pediatrics acknowledges that racism is systematic, and its influence must be proactively identified and intentionally addressed in order for our department to:
- Attract the best talent
- Engender the most impactful research
- Meaningfully connect and care for our patients
- Deliver instruction to our learners that makes all feel welcome and valued
In short, being antiracist makes our department better in all areas.
The Antiracism Committee aims to foster a more diverse, equitable and inclusive department through the efforts of our four actions groups:
- Visibility Activities - Promote our values of diversity, equity and inclusion by consistently keeping topics in front of the department
- Strategic Diversity Building - Identify and implement strategies (recruitment and retention) to enhance diversity across the department
- Preventing & Addressing Discrimination - Improve reporting processes and constructively address challenges
- Curriculum Improvement - Work with program director's and others to plan and implement DEI curriculum components
