Creating and sustaining a climate that is diverse and inclusive takes conscious effort and honest reflection. We are making strides in the right direction.
Thousands of our students, faculty and staff members have participated in initiatives aimed at improving diversity and inclusion. This is just the beginning and we recognize the need to reinforce the message in all we do.
In partnership with the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, I hope to continue this conversation with you, share new initiatives and celebrate successes.
Our ambition is clear — to become an environment that supports diversity, inclusion, critical thinking and creativity — and in doing so, be the best medical school in the world and contribute to a better St. Louis community.
Sincerely,
David H. Perlmutter, MD
