Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion

We value diversity among our department’s faculty, trainees, staff, and patients. We aim to recruit and support trainees with diverse backgrounds and experiences, and provide an inclusive and welcoming learning environment for all. Our residents and leaders welcome open communication and conversations. Our medical physics residents come from a variety of backgrounds, countries of birth, and educational institutions across the world.

Our department has an active Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EEI) Committee, which offers multiple trainings and seminars to employees throughout the year, and all residents are encouraged and supported to participate in any EDI Committee events.

Members of the Department of Radiation Oncology are leaders in addressing healthcare disparities and the cancer care needs of underserved populations. Minorities represent nearly half of patients enrolled in UMMC clinical trials, which is three times the national average.
