Department of Pediatrics Annual Report – 2020
OMEDI: The Office of Medical Education, Diversity, and Inclusion
We are all learners, and we are all part of the learning environment
In May of 2019, the Department of Pediatrics Office of Medical Education officially changed its name to the Office of Medical Education, Diversity, and Inclusion (OMEDI), reflecting the department’s commitment to ensuring diversity, inclusion, and equity among our learners, training programs, faculty, staff, and leadership.
The OMEDI team is continuously working to improve, innovate, and create an environment that ensures:
- Learning in the context of humanistic patient care
- Positive interactions among faculty, residents, fellows, nursing staff, and students
- Inclusion of diverse perspectives and voices, which is essential to successful and collaborative work
- Support for well-being and resilience to both prevent and mitigate burnout
