FOCIS Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
FOCIS is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization within our educational and programmatic teaching and learning environment, the research endeavors undertaken by the medical and scientific community, and the quality of care available to all. We embrace a definition of diversity that recognizes that diversity is not limited to gender, race and ethnicity but must also include age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious commitment, physical ability and other varied backgrounds and life experiences. FOCIS strives to ensure a robust community that promotes excellence in education, discovery, clinical care and the elimination of health disparities locally, regionally, nationally and globally.
