Inclusive Excellence and Cultural Dexterity

The Department of Surgery is dedicated to ensuring the voices of our trainees, staff, faculty, and patients are heard, their thoughts are respected and their feelings are valued.

We pride ourselves on creating an inclusive culture dedicated to helping shape the field of surgery to be more diverse. We value our residents, fellows, faculty, and staff of every race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. Our goal is to continue to expand our diversity within our talented team, which leads to even more inclusive patient-centered care.
