Invited applicants will also have the opportunity to attend a virtual event the evening before interview day with the residents.
Diversity
Our department strives to create a learning environment that values diversity and inclusion for the residency program, to provide services to all patients in the community, and achieve excellence in health equity. We recognize that this work is ongoing and that there is no “finish line.” This is why we are committed to making all of our residents to feel they are seen, heard, and valued within our culture that embodies belonging as central to diversity, inclusion, and equity.
