Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committees | UC Davis Health

Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committees

The committees within the Office for Health Equity, Diversity and Inclusion have different functions but with the same mission of achieving UC Davis Health organizational goals of improving diversity awareness and inclusion within our workforce. Core goals of the committees focus on:

  • Making recommendations regarding inclusive and diverse approaches
  • Examining programs, activities, policies, publications, and practices to determine intentional or unintentional exclusiveness
  • Engaging members in scholarly dialogues, as well as evidence-based instruction and practices that reflect inclusion and diversity

The intended outcome for these committee groups is to support diverse learning environments where faculty, staff and students can reach their full potential by contributing their skills, abilities and creativity with excellence.
