Diversity & Inclusion Community of Belonging
“Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance,” wrote Vernā Myers, Esq. in her book, "Moving Diversity Forward." Since 2016, we have worked hard to figure out how to open the dance floor and partner up — inclusion is necessary, albeit messy, work.
If academic institutions want to create successful, lifelong learners, we must deliberately include people with diverse backgrounds — in the many ways in which this is defined — throughout the curriculum. Only by building comfort with and joy of the diversity of our community will we enable our students to fully develop and their practice to give the most improved health care outcomes.
Life-saving patient care starts with an innovative and bold education for health care providers — but also an inclusive one. We are committed to rising to the challenge.
Below are a few resources for those looking for movies, music, shows, books, and podcast that have representation and show different perspectives. We also have additional anti-racism resources that you can also explore. These lists are by no means comprehensive, but we hope they'll allow individuals to begin to understand what inclusion might look like.
