Top-rated med school prioritizes DEI, anti-racism in curricula

The University of California San Francisco School of Medicine expects its educators and clinicians to work to dismantle racist systems and create an inclusive environment, as well as to frame medical education through an anti-racist lens that focuses on the role of institutional and structural racism in medicine and healthcare.

This is according to a litany of diversity, equity and inclusion expectations and mandates embedded into the school in recent years that are detailed on the medical school’s website.

The UCSF School of Medicine seeks to be “the most diverse, equitable and inclusive academic medical system in the country,” according to the webpage for the school’s Differences Matter initiative.
