Celebrating Inclusion

UNC Department of Radiology is committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity that promotes respect for differences, a sense of belonging, value, and equitable treatment for individuals from all races, ethnicities, marital status, disabilities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, classes, religions, and nationalities.

VISION

The Department of Radiology in the School of Medicine promotes the clinical, educational and research goals of the University of North Carolina. We encompass a far-reaching range of faculty, staff, and trainees and endeavor to improve the welfare of the people we serve through clinical care, education, and research.

We believe that a culture of inclusivity is beneficial and integral to our Department’s success and sustaining its mission well into the future.  We work to promote the inclusion of individuals from all races, ethnicities, marital status, disabilities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, classes, religions, and nationalities. The unique contributions of each individual are valued as they enrich our intellectual, occupational and personal environments.

The Department of Radiology will be proactive and transparent in our decisions and actions toward ensuring a positive culture of diversity.  We will respect the differences of others and work to remove barriers and provide opportunities to all department members.  We will support and promote diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging for the benefit of our Department and the greater good of society.
