At UVM, diversity and inclusion are not only broadly defined and valued, but also mission-driven and integral to how we measure our success. We believe that cultural humility enhances professionalism, clinical effectiveness, research and results in effective interactions in cross-cultural situations.
The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) leads, collaborates, educates, and supports all students, staff, and faculty in fostering a culture of inclusion. Our work promotes excellence in health care and contributes to the College’s efforts to address the systemic barriers faced by the most vulnerable populations.
