Inclusive Language Guide (Click here for Pdf)
The OHSU Inclusive Language Guide is intended as an evolving tool to help OHSU members learn about and use inclusive language in institutional communications, patient care (including chart notes), instruction and presentations around descriptors of:
• Race and ethnicity
• Immigration status
• Gender and sexual orientation
• Ability (including physical, mental and chronological attributes)
This guide is a direct response to requests from many OHSU members in the wake of President Danny Jacobs’ June 2020 proclamation that OHSU will work to dismantle systemic racism. Campus leaders in diversity, equity and inclusion and in communications convened a six-person, diverse, cross-institutional Inclusive Language Project Team. (See appendix)
