Learn about DICE

Our Community

We value the wide range of backgrounds and experiences our patients - including age, gender, race, culture, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity - and recognize that valuing these differences among our residents and faculty fosters an educational environment that allows for collaboration, growth, and more equitable care.

Cultivating Representation in Holistic Recruitment

We are dedicated to recruiting and training residents from underrepresented communities, varied backgrounds, cultures, and identities to create a vibrant community of learners.

  • Holistic review of applications.
  • Second Look events to highlight our commitment to inclusion and belonging in our community of patients and trainees, faculty, and staff.
  • Visiting Elective Program Scholarship for fourth year medical students.

Promoting Cultural Humility in Education

We maintain an ongoing educational perspective grounded in health equity.

Fostering Inclusion

We aim to create an inclusive environment where every resident feels valued, respected, and supported.

We acknowledge that fostering inclusion and belonging is a continual process, and we regularly review and improve our practices to ensure our program helps advance a more just healthcare system.
