Diversity, equity, and inclusion are deeply valued by the UVA School of Medicine. Our strategic goals include transforming healthcare, erasing disparities, and inspiring hope — regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or identity, or disability. We are proud to share a few of our School’s 2023 DEI highlights below.
