Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Resources
We all contribute to the department’s environment, and we all have a part to play in making UW Ob-Gyn welcoming and inclusive. Building an inclusive department is an ongoing effort, not a one-time exercise.
Please take a look at this three-part Rx for an Inclusive Ob-Gyn. The UW Ob-Gyn Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee curated the resources below to support the activity and help us foster a culture of inclusion and respect among our patients, employees, learners, and the communities we serve.
