The Department of Psychiatry is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and equitable environment for all.
This page highlights our ongoing efforts, resources, and opportunities to engage in EDI work within the department and beyond.
Whether you're looking to learn more, get involved, or find support — this is a space for everyone.
Our EDI philosophy (core values; vision/mission)
Equity/Diversity/Inclusion: An understanding that we each come from unique circumstances and backgrounds, our differences make us stronger, and we should respect and celebrate what each member of our team brings to the table
Psychological Safety: A commitment to ensuring that staff and students perceive all our sites as spaces where they can be their authentic selves, safely express concerns, admit areas of vulnerability, and negotiate needs and points of disagreement
Transparency and Open Communication: A willingness to communicate significant issues that affect members of our Department, how decisions are made by leadership, who is involved, etc.
Commitment to Growth: A focus on providing opportunities for progressive growth and responsibility to help individuals develop according to their interests and potential
Supportive, Representative Leadership: A pledge to building a strong, diverse leadership team that embodies and promotes these core values
