NMURFF Mission Statement
Established May 24, 2011 Northwestern McGaw Underrepresented Residents and Fellows Forum (NMURFF) is an inter-departmental group for trainees at Northwestern McGaw Center for Graduate Medical Education. The NMURFF leadership consists of residents and/or fellows who carry out programming in four areas: mentoring, networking & career development, outreach, and strategy & collaboration. NMURFF welcomes members of all backgrounds who support our mission.

We will:- Work strategically and collaboratively to advance diversity for the Northwestern McGaw Center for Graduate Medical Education through outreach and other avenues
- Provide career development and networking opportunities aimed at addressing underrepresentation across specialties locally and nationally
- Support each other and current medical students through mentoring and partnership
- Work to foster an environment where all trainees can thrive.
