About Us

The Graduate Medical Education Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (GME DEI) Advisory Group is a volunteer group of faculty, staff, and residents/fellows committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable training environment. The group works collaboratively to:

• Develop an understanding of the current state of diversity across graduate medical education programs at the University of Minnesota and within the broader Twin Cities community

• Serve as a central point for DEI-related initiatives that support residents and fellows

• Facilitate connections between applicants and existing members of the University and local communities, as appropriate

• Promote awareness of health disparities and support the development of metrics to address them in the clinical settings where our trainees work

• Align with and support the mission of the Medical School’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
