PRIDE
It is that time of year when we celebrate PRIDE month and also reflect on our UCSF PRIDE values: Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Excellence. These core values are for everyone who works, learns, teaches and discovers at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals.
I have always held that respect is one of the most important core values. We have respect for our colleagues and all the hard work they have put in during the pandemic. This time of year we pay particular respect to the residents and fellows who have completed their training programs. A tremendous Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland resident and fellow graduation was held in the outdoor pavilion of Scott’s on June 4, 2022. Here are the special recognitions:

Release of the UCSF Changemaker Series | |
|
The UCSF Changemaker Series, created by Professor of Medicine Hilary Seligman, MD, MAS, is a four-part video series that seeks to build the capacity of UCSF researchers to generate scientific evidence that is responsive to the needs of real-world decision-makers. Each 10-15 minute video highlights a UCSF researcher in conversation with an interdisciplinary panel of non-academic experts discussing how investigators at all stages of their careers can more meaningfully inform policies, systems, and structures in order to create social or policy change.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION, and
ANTI-RACISM at UCSF BCH
| |

From Marsha J. Treadwell, PhD
DEI Co-Chair BCH Oakland
Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, UCSF School of Medicine
Jordan Fund Endowed Chair, Department of Hematology/Oncology

|
The focus of the BCH Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative is to dismantle systemic racism within BCH by taking action to insure that policies, institutional practices, cultural representations and other norms no longer reinforce and perpetuate racial group inequity for Blacks, Indigenous and People of Color. Patients and families and other groups in the workforce, including LGBTQ+ are negatively impacted within the current problematic climate. For more information, please feel free to reach out to me, our program manager Henry Ocampo at henry.ocampo@ucsf.edu, or visit our website https://diversitybch.ucsf.edu/.

Moving forward, the work must continue to be collaborative since we know that the impacts of diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism occur at individual, institutional and systemic levels.
