Diversity
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice at UCSF Pediatrics
Diversity efforts are enacted and envisioned by a consortium of pediatric administration, faculty and residents. The Resident- led Diversity Committee is one of the ways Residents lead change within our department and the greater community.
The UCSF Diversity Committee aims to:
- Highlight inclusion as we foster a culture that not only includes, but EMBRACES diversity of culture.
- Create a workforce that is representative of the children and families that we serve.
- Train pediatricians who will promote our mission as leaders in the field in our future.
- Establish a firm anti-oppression and anti-racism stance. We will advocate for anti-oppressive views and interrupting biases.
- Promote the transition from the identity of ally which is passive in nature, to advocate which is action-oriented.
- Commit to including research in our toolbox for advocacy
