The Cytopathology, Dermatopathology and Hematopathology Fellowship programs of Tulane School of Medicine ensure that all fellows receive an accredited educational experience of the highest quality. As part of that responsibility, we firmly believe that equity, diversity, and inclusion in our fellowship programs improves education, provides tremendous opportunities for community engagement, and creates better-trained pathologists.
We commit to developing and growing a workforce that reflects the rich diversity of race, of gender, of religious belief, of national origin, of ethnicity, of age, of ability, and of sexual orientation found in the unique community and culture of New Orleans.
We seek to understand and invest resources into recruiting, supporting, and retaining a diverse physician workforce that includes members from groups that have been historically marginalized and underrepresented in medicine. In doing so, we understand the importance of providing a training environment intolerant of discrimination against any individual on the basis of race, gender, religious belief, national origin, ethnicity, age, disability, gender, or sexual orientation. It is our goal that all trainees feel supported and mentored and are provided with equal access to opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
Tulane University is committed to equity as the driver of diversity and inclusion throughout the institution. Tulane defines diversity broadly to include persons of color, members of the LGBTQIA community, members of diverse ethnic groups including those typically underrepresented in medicine, members of economically disadvantaged groups, and any others who bring a different perspective to the learning environment.
