Massachusetts General Hospital

The MAO Advisory Board was created at the recommendation of the Diversity Committee Physician Workforce Workgroup (chaired by Peter Slavin, with the support of Elena Olson), to help MAO address the growing URM physician issues at MGH. The co-chairs envisioned a board of opinion leaders from multidisciplinary backgrounds, roles and departments at MGH and HMS who can help effect change.

Goals for the Board

• Provide advice on MGH physician diversity issues
• Develop strategies to support MAO's expanded role
• Implement new initiatives and programs through ad hoc committees
