Learning together, to work together.
The Office of Health Sciences Diversity, Equity and Inclusion exists to provide leadership and guidance in diversity, equity and inclusion to Pitt’s six health sciences schools and to create an environment where everyone, regardless of background, is welcomed, supported and positioned for success.
In the Office of Health Sciences Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we:
Support people and community:
- Promote diversity, equity and inclusion in faculty recruitment and retention;
- Foster belonging among historically underrepresented faculty, staff, and students across the six health sciences schools;
- Provide counsel related to diversity, equity and inclusion for administrators, faculty and academic units in the six health sciences schools.
Advance research and best practices:
- Administer the Race & Social Determinants of Equity, Health, and Well-being Cluster Hire and Retention Initiative;
- Support young researchers’ community engagement and scholarship related to the social determinants of health.
We understand that health disparities demonstrably diminish, and both individuals and communities thrive, when healthcare and healthcare education more closely reflect society’s rich diversity.
