Several of our faculty and residents in our department are members of the Midwest Equity, Inclusion and Diversity (EID) Committee. The EID committee sends out monthly emails about specific topics that pertain to the topic of diversity and medicine. Previous topics have included a celebration of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, accent bias and how this may affect the practice of medicine, and gender identity.
