Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Our residency program is committed to providing an inclusive environment for our patients, our students, our residents, and our faculty. We are committed to UofL's Cardinal Anti-Racism agenda and excited about Norton Healthcare's $20 million commitment to address health equity, ensure primary care for the community, new leadership that reflects community demographics, education and advocacy about health policy issues, and investment in the underserved areas of Louisville.

Mission	Vision	Values

Our committee exists

To identify weaknesses and strengths within our residency program as it relates to promotion of a diverse workforce;
To help foster a nurturing and supportive environment that values diverse perspectives;
To create a sustainable model to strive for continuous improvements in our diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.

All of these with the ultimate goal of training a diverse workforce of pediatricians who are equipped to provide culturally competent care to a diverse population of patients.

We want our pediatric residency program

To be considered among the best at providing culturally competent education both within University of Louisville's Graduate Medical Education but also among regional pediatric residency programs;
To have a workforce (both trainees and faculty) that better reflects the population we serve; to retain a diverse group of students, residents, and faculty.
To be a model of engagement of different perspectives so that all can thrive.
