Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI)
Our Strategic Priorities
CDI has built programs and initiatives around four strategic priorities: Exposing students to academic medicine, advancing trainees and faculty, championing health equity and driving organizational change.
Expose Students to Academic Careers
Expose students underrepresented in medicine (UiM) to academic research and clinical careers, helping them to grow into the medical professionals and scientists of tomorrow.
Advance and Engage Trainees, Faculty and PCS Staff
We work with all departments to build and develop a community of talented and diverse residents, fellows, and faculty through career development, networking, mentorship, funding and education.
Champion Health Equity
CDI is championing structural equity and social justice by creating a culture of inclusion through advocacy and education.
Drive Organizational Change
Collaborating with departments and hospital leadership, our faculty programs embed diversity and inclusion into MGH's fabric, nurturing UiM success.
Elena B. Olson, JDDiversity focuses on who we are and the unique differences each of us brings, while inclusion aims to create an environment where everyone is respected and valued. Now is the time for medicine to advance a genuine commitment to both.
