Diversity, Equity, and Wellness
We are committed to creating a diverse workforce and a nurturing work culture.
MISSION
Our Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology strongly values diversity of identities, experiences, and perspectives.
We are proud that the faculty, staff and trainees in our diverse and vibrant community come from all around the world. We are committed to continuing our tradition of recruiting a diverse workforce, thus creating an enriching learning environment for our trainees and a welcoming space for our patients.
We are also equally committed to creating a healthy work culture by holistically promoting the wellness of our faculty and staff.

Reflections

He didn't yet know that he would become a member of yet another minority, the estimated 2% to 10% of practicing physicians with a disability.
