Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
How have I promoted Diversity, Equity and Inclusion during my career?
I pursued my internal medicine residency at the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania with a goal of serving disadvantaged communities in Philadelphia. It has been satisfying to establish my career at Boston Medical Center and support the longstanding mission here, of providing exceptional care without exception. As a Spanish speaking provider in the section of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Nutrition, it has been fulfilling to serve the LatinX community in Boston.
In my work in student education, promoting a healthy learning environment goes hand in hand with reducing bias and supporting DEI initiatives in the clinical learning environment. To this effort, within the Department of Medicine Office of Student Education, I have had the privilege of assembling and working with an incredible team of diverse educators and managers to help support, coach, assess, advise and teach our students.
As part creating a healthy work environment for both trainees and my co-faculty, my work in the Mid-Career Faculty Leadership Program led to an intersection between my passion for innovative curriculum development and supporting the Boston University Medical Campus goal of developing a bystander training program for addressing micro-aggressions. In May 2020, our MFL team created the 'LIFT' training tool, that is presently the model used in bystander training here at Boston Medical Center, designed to empower our community to address micro-aggressions in the work setting.
