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.

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.

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.
