Since the initiative’s launch in 2015, we have undertaken several RBI activities and endeavors that have primarily addressed recommendations related to racism and bias content in curricular and student affairs, admissions, and in other functional areas of the school. Starting in March 2018, we are excited to broaden our strategy to include more of the people and process side of change, as we move towards our vision of providing healthcare and education that is free of racism and bias.
