The Department of PM&R and our faculty are committed to creating a supportive environment for all.

As a major component of this commitment, the Department has a standing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee composed of faculty, staff, and trainees that collectively work toward the common mission. The DEI Committee’s purpose is to identify opportunities for DEI enrichment and to implement solutions that align the Department to its continued commitment to anti-marginalization, anti-discrimination, and anti-racism, thereby creating a supportive and equitable environment for all. This committee is dedicated to making diversity and inclusion integral to the structure, policies, objectives, and operations of the Department, its faculty, and its affiliates.
