Welcome message from the Associate Dean of Diversity and Inclusion

Welcome to the Diversity and Inclusion website for the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry, and Health Sciences.

As your Associate Dean of Diversity and Inclusion, I am passionate and committed to equity, and I will use my role to advocate for people, their purpose, and the advancement of medicine and science.

We all have the right to a diverse and discrimination-free workplace, where gender, sexuality and sexual orientation, disability, health issues, ethnicity and race, and an individual’s background should not be a barrier to reaching their full potential. My resolute goal is to continue developing and bringing new ideas to lead key initiatives that will enhance our Faculties' progression towards Diversity and Inclusion.

Our Faculty is ranked among the top in the world for its impact, innovation, education and growth. I believe we are ready to also be known for celebrating our diverse and outstanding people.
