Department of Surgery Statement on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
We, the members of the Tulane Department of Surgery, are committed to establishing an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment. We firmly believe diversity amplifies our strengths and fosters a thriving and sustainable community. We respect and embrace the rich distinctions present through race, gender, religious beliefs, national origin, ethnicity, age, disability, political beliefs, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Through deliberate and transparent action, we seek to achieve our vision and successfully recruit diverse faculty, staff, and residents including those who have been historically underrepresented in medicine, in an effort to reflect the identities of all of the patients we serve. Persistent examination of our policies and processes provides the opportunity to improve their effectiveness and to minimize bias, prejudice, and discrimination.
As a department, we strive to create a safe, professional community that offers a sustainable sense of belonging for all staff, students, residents, fellows, and faculty.
