Reflections on my first year as Associate Dean, Equity and Inclusion
As I reflect back on my first year in this inaugural role in the Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS), I can confidently say that equity efforts have never been more important. As our university community and the patients we serve continue to become increasingly diverse, as data consistently demonstrates the effects of racism and other types of discrimination on inequitable health care outcomes for marginalized populations, as we find ourselves in a society and world in which polarization threatens the ability to be in dialogue and nuance, we must be steadfast in our Faculty’s commitment to equity and anti-oppression.
