Diversity & Equity

The Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) for faculty, staff, trainees and patients as part of its mission for excellence in women’s health.

Our task forces on clinical care & patient outcomes, education, and research & retention are taking a multipronged and interdisciplinary approach to addressing and promoting DEI in the department. We seek to promote diversity and inclusive excellence in how we care for patients, teach the next generation of physicians, discover and disseminate scientific advancements, and proactively provide sponsorship and foster success for all members of the department as we step towards equity.
