Stanford Pathology: DEI Events & News


"This summer really opened up my eyes to research.  Prior to this experience I hadn't had any exposure to research, so it really made me consider research in my future career... I'm really grateful for this experience because it broadened my horizons and I feel like I got a much more in-depth introduction to pathology which prior to this experience, I really didn't know much about."

Adrienne Carter, MHS
Medical Student, Meharry Medical College
Rotated in Brooke Howitt Lab  at Stanford Pathology, Stanford-Meharry Research Retreat

"Personally, it's held me accountable to engaging and re-engaging with these topics on a regular basis, and over time, I think/hope has helped me better recognize systemic racism in all its myriad and sneaky presentations, including my own biases. This book club helped inspire me to do one of my CP long talks on a related topic, and has also informed/motivated my contributions to other DEI efforts in the department such as our orientation and open house earlier this year."
