The Tulane University School of Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is committed to the principles of diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice.
We acknowledge that racism and sexism exist in the medical profession, and we acknowledge the resultant significant barriers and burdens placed on underrepresented minorities in medicine. We have committed ourselves to doing the work of examining and addressing the effects of racism and sexism within our department. As part of this work, the Committee for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was established in 2019 to celebrate diversity, create an equitable learning and working environment, and to foster the academic advancement of underrepresented minorities in medicine.
There is no place for discrimination of any kind in our residency program and in our department. We strive to create an anti-racist environment where every person can thrive, and we support all efforts to create institutional and systemic change to this end.
