The Dean and Chair Pledge to Advance Gender Equity:
Since I am committed to equitable support and career advancement for all students, trainees, and faculty–beginning in 2021 and going forward, I will focus financial and other support to medical societies that…
-
- Provide leaders at my institution and all members of the society with an annual report containing a detailed analysis of metrics for the society’s inclusion of women and diverse students, trainees, and faculty;
- Hire and promote qualified women and diverse executives, leaders, staff, and consultants; and,
- Ensure the journal(s) they are associated with have a diverse editorial board with gender equity at all levels.
Many leaders have committed to the pledge and more are doing so each day. They are from (this is not a complete list): Harvard Medical School, Chicago Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, University of Massachusetts Medical School, University of California at Davis, University of California at Los Angeles, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and University of Nebraska Medical Center.
