Trainee & Faculty Initiatives

Office at a Glance

Trainee and Faculty Initiatives in the School of Medicine are essential to ensuring that our pipeline of talented underrepresented students doesn’t end once the students receive their degrees, but rather carries them forward to support them as they progress through clinical trainee or postdoc programs and into faculty and leadership positions within academic medicine. These initiatives help to foster community amongst peers, create mentorship and sponsorship opportunities that enhance professional development, build inclusive work and learning environments, and ultimately create a workforce that reflects the diverse needs of our learners and patients.
