About Us

The Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Equity (ODIHE) has been a vital part of the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine since its inception in 2015. Back then, it was known as the Anesthesiology Diversity Council (ADC), and it was created by a group of passionate residents and faculty members who shared a common goal: to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the department.
Over the years, the ADC has grown significantly, and it now includes faculty, trainees, and staff from all corners of the department. In recognition of its contributions, ODIHE was officially established as an office in 2021.
