The Center held a strategic planning session on February 7 to discuss the implementation of the DEIAB Roadmap, facilitated by the DEIAB Committee and Drs. Gustavo Velásquez and Midori Kato-Maeda. Faculty, trainees, and staff provided input on an implementation guide, which will be used by study teams affiliated with the Center to track milestones of our shared goals outlined in the roadmap.
Study teams affiliated with the Center are asked to designate champions to select and track benchmarks they hope to achieve throughout the next year. See our DEIAB Roadmap, photos, and DEIAB Champion sign up can be found at the below links (visible only to UCSF personnel).
