The Colorado Medical Society is kicking off a new diversity and inclusion learning curriculum, and we need your help!
We’re reaching out to members to get your perspective on diversity and inclusion.
|
In March of this year, we began our partnership with The Nova Collective, a Black and woman-owned DEI consulting company. This partnership has focused on laying the foundation needed to bring to life a culture of inclusion where our members are celebrated for their diversity because we know our differences are what make us beautiful. We believe that diversity, inclusivity, and belonging will fuel our innovation and growth, both today and for years to come.
