Chair of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The UCSF Department of Surgery Diversity Committee is dedicated to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that embraces the value of individual differences and creates an environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and empowered.
Our mission is to promote equitable opportunities for success, eliminate healthcare disparities, and cultivate a surgical workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve in San Francisco. Through intentional recruitment, comprehensive education and training, mentorship, and community engagement, we strive to advance DEI principles in surgical practice, research, and innovation.
We are committed to continuous assessment, accountability, and collaboration with all the members of the Department of Surgery and our patients. Our goal is to work towards a future where DEI is ingrained a part of in every aspect our department of the UCSF Department of Surgery. We are working towards ensuring that using the principles of DEI will provide exceptional, patient-centered care and improve health outcomes for all.
Differences Matter is a multi-year, multi-faceted School of Medicine initiative designed to make UCSF the most diverse, equitable and inclusive academic medical system in the country. It is one of the most important cultural initiatives at UCSF and one that the Department of Surgery enthusiastically supports. We firmly believe that diversity, equity and inclusion are the cornerstones for a thriving community.
