The Department of Pathology is committed to fostering an environment that values and promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe a diverse and inclusive department leads to better outcomes for our patients, employees, learners, and scientific community. We are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, respected, and supported, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, ability, or any other aspect of their identity. We are committed to recruiting and retaining diverse employees and learners by providing all members of our department with the support and resources they need to succeed. We acknowledge that past and present systemic inequalities have created barriers to access and success for underrepresented groups, and we are committed to addressing these inequities through inclusive policies, practices, and programs. We encourage open dialogue, mutual respect, and continuous learning, and we strive to create a culture where everyone feels comfortable sharing their experiences, perspectives, and ideas. Creating a just and equitable department requires continuous effort, and we are dedicated to this work.
The UNM Health Sciences Center Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion recognizes the need to acknowledge the land that we work on.
