At the UC Davis Internal Medicine Residency Program, we proudly advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in every facet of medical education and practice.
Our commitment to fostering a richly diverse and inclusive environment is at the core of our program's values. We are committed to recruiting, training, and supporting physicians that are underrepresented in medicine and those with a wide range of perspectives, backgrounds, and life experiences that enhance the learning and growth of all trainees and meet the workforce needs of our communities.
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.
We are dedicated to recruiting and training residents from underrepresented communities, varied backgrounds, cultures, and identities to create a vibrant community of learners.
We maintain an ongoing educational perspective grounded in health equity.
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.
