Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Engagement and Leadership Opportunities for Trainees.

Introduction

To achieve a healthier future for all, improving diversity through efforts such as diversifying faculty and leadership in academic medicine is imperative. Therefore, medical trainees (medical students, residents, fellows) from groups underrepresented in medicine (UiM) are encouraged to pursue academic careers and have opportunities to gain faculty leadership skills during their training.
