Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility

I am deeply committed to Boston Medical Center's mission of "exceptional care without exception". For me, this means providing care and the utmost empathy to all patients, regardless of race, ethnicity, religious views, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or spoken language. Recognizing that we all have our implicit biases which we can always improve on, I aim to continue to be mindful during my interactions with my surrounding, including other faculty, staff, and patients.
