UNM Department of Surgery strives to address –isms (e.g. sexism, racism/ethno racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, etc.), recognize the assets of historically marginalized communities, eliminate healthcare disparities, and promote healthcare equity in our work. Discrimination and intolerance have no place in our community. We celebrate our multitudes of intersecting identities and commit to ongoing effort of creating an inclusive and supportive workplace climate, especially for women, racial and ethnic minority individuals, and residents of rural communities
We strive to build an environment where the applicants for staff, faculty or trainee positions can see the cultural competency and humility of our departmental members in their work with teaching, interviewing, when conducting research and when taking care of patients. The scope of our work is to:
Work with Educational Leadership to initiate and promote diversity and inclusion process and broaden access to Department of surgery educational programs.
