The CDI Advisory Board was created at the recommendation of the Diversity Committee Physician Workforce Workgroup (chaired by Peter Slavin, MD, with the support of Elena Olson, JD), to help CDI address the issues of physicians from groups that are underrepresented in medicine (UIM). The co-chairs envisioned a board of opinion leaders from multidisciplinary backgrounds, roles and departments at Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School who can help effect change.

Goals for the Board

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