At our College of Medicine, we recognize that excellence in medical education, research, and patient care can only be achieved through the meaningful inclusion of diverse perspectives and experiences. We commit to creating and sustaining an equitable learning opportunity as essential to our academic mission.

Our College is committed to applying equality amongst its students and staff to ensure that they are treated fairly, with dignity and respect. No one shall receive less favorable treatment on the grounds of age, disability, sex, race, tribe, religion, nationality and/or socioeconomic background. We actively reject discrimination in all its forms and work diligently to create systems that promote fairness and equal opportunity.

The College is also committed to providing an environment where its students and staff feel able to participate fully in college activities, and have an equal opportunity to achieve their full potential. We recognize that achieving this environment requires ongoing effort, accountability, and transparent processes for addressing concerns.

If any student or staff member feels discriminated against, harassed, or victimized, they shall submit a written complaint to the Dean, who will ensure a thorough and fair investigation. We take all reports of inequitable treatment seriously and are committed to prompt resolution of concerns while protecting individuals from retaliation.

Our commitment extends beyond words to actionable practices. We actively recruit, support, and advance students, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds. We integrate cultural humility throughout our curriculum, research, and clinical training to prepare compassionate physicians capable of providing equitable care to diverse patient populations.

We measure our success not merely by representation but by creating a culture where differences are respected, where every individual has equitable access to opportunities, and where we continuously learn from each other’s unique perspectives.

Through these commitments, we aspire to prepare medical professionals who will lead with integrity, advance health equity, and ensure that quality healthcare is accessible to all. Together, we build a community that reflects the diversity of the patients and communities we serve.
