Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

In our residency program we strive to provide our learners with an inclusive learning environment where we celebrate our different backgrounds and identities and stand strong against racism and biases in medicine.  Through a Diversity Committee our residents participate in delivering intentional and thoughtful approaches to achieving equity and inclusion within our Department.

 Several of our residents are members of the Women's Empowerment Alliance, an employee-led group that empowers women to advocate for personal and professional goals while simultaneously supporting local community efforts.

In collaboration with our academic affiliate Texas A&M and our own office of DEI, we continue to develop a curriculum for our residents including topics such as microaggressions at the workplace, social and racial disparities in medicine and LGTBQ+ Health.  Our goal is to train our residents to become culturally inclusive and competent practicing physicians.  We welcome any resident to join our diverse Internal Medicine Program.
