Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

At the University of Wisconsin Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, we value and promote an inclusive environment that respects, welcomes and embraces differences across all of our missions including, but not limited to race, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental ability, religion, income, and national origin.
To achieve this, we provide education and promote policies and practices that support patients, their families and our employees throughout the State of Wisconsin and beyond.
We embrace the mission, vision, values, and strategies set forth by the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, UW Health, and the combined Office of Diversity and Equity Transformation. As the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, we embrace the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Commitment to Changing the Culture of Medicine and Eliminating Racial Disparities in Women's Health Outcomes.
The UW Ob-Gyn Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee's goals are to:
- Make the department more welcoming and inclusive
- Incorporate anti-racism principles throughout the department
- Increase diversity among faculty, staff, trainees, and collaborators
- Improve the patient experience and health outcomes for women from underrepresented groups
