Commitment to Inclusion
Indiana University adamantly believes that the opportunity to live and work in a world that builds upon the contributions of everyone is not just a privilege but a right of life.
At IU School of Medicine, the commitment to diversity includes race, ethnicity, gender and gender identity, religion, socio-economic status, age, geography of origin and residence, sexual orientation, disability, work style and other aspects of human attributes and behaviors.
IU School of Medicine recruits talented trainees, faculty and staff from various backgrounds with focused efforts toward identified diversity categories.
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery is equally committed to these efforts, with the goal of diversifying the department and the field of orthopaedics.
We believe culturally competent, patient-centered care is the foundation of providing excellent health care, eliminating health disparities and contributing to innovative breakthroughs in science. A diverse medical and scientific workforce is essential to meet the needs of the rapidly changing demographics of Indiana communities in today’s environment.
Advancements in these areas are among the school’s chief priorities.
