DEI FOCUS


There is a focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging across projects that will demonstrate new ways to better include, engage, support, and serve diverse groups and perspectives (patients, learners, faculty, staff, and communities). The process ensures a diversity of thought so that appropriate questions are investigated to meet the needs of stakeholders.
