Commission on Health and Health Care Disparities in OBGYN

The Department of OBGYN values diversity and inclusion. It is committed to eliminating health and health care disparities in OBGYN. We are working to be a better residency program through anti-racism, inclusivity, and community engagement.

The Department has established a commission with joint membership including faculty, administration and residents to implement and sustain diversity efforts.

The educational curriculum aims to train medical students, residents and faculty how to provide culturally competent, equitable, accessible, and high-quality care to all women. Changes implemented for all residents and faculty:

  • Implicit bias training
  • Grand rounds speakers
