Message from the Chair
In addition to our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee, our department also supports EDI within our research activities. I would like to spotlight our ongoing efforts to forward EDI in the research arena, including Laboratory Medicine, Anatomic Pathology, UIC, team collaborations, and Quality Day.
As noted by leadership at our David Geffen School of Medicine, by educating the next generation of physicians, physician-scientists, and researchers, we will instill the core values of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion that are inseparable from our institutional goals of excellence in all tenets of healthcare, research, education, and community engagement.
I am so proud of the EDI work being done by our faculty, our EDI committee and every member of our Department. We have done wonderful work this year, and I am excited to watch our efforts and accomplishments continue to grow!
Sarah M. Dry, MD
Professor & Chair, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
