Promoting a welcoming and supportive culture and community is a core value for our GME team. We support residents and faculty who have traveled a further distance to reach a career in medicine and will provide them with the resources and mentorship to succeed once they are here. We want all residents and faculty to truly feel included and have a voice in the GME programs and community. All residents will learn how to identify the needs of and advocate for vulnerable patients. We welcome you to join us to build a kind and supportive culture.

• Culture and Community training available for all program leaders and core faculty
