2023 Department of Pediatrics Academic Annual Report

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Collaboration, integrity, respect and excellence are shared values of our institution and are the core of what it means to be a part of the UAB community. A key foundation at UAB is diversity, equity, and inclusion. At UAB, everybody counts every day. UAB is committed to fostering a diverse, respectful, and inclusive environment that values all regardless of background and embraces individual differences. UAB values and cultivates equity, diversity, and inclusion in our research, learning, clinical and work environments. Our students, residents, fellows, faculty, and staff add diversity to our community through life experiences, perspectives and viewpoints that are enriching for the learning and work environment and are reflective of the students and communities we serve. Because UAB serves a diverse population, the UAB Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, along with the Department of Pediatrics, aims to create an inclusive environment for all UAB faculty, staff, students, and patients through education, training, and awareness programs.
