At the University of Miami/ Jackson Department of Orthopaedics, we embrace differences in age, color, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics such as personality and personal interests that make our faculty, trainees, staff, and patients unique.
We provide care and education that emphasizes respect for differences in culture, language, and life experience. We endeavor to identify and address health disparities and the role of bias in decision making. We support community engagement and partner with our local, national, and global communities to advance the diversity pipeline and eliminate health disparities. We believe in the value of your unique identity, background, and experiences. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture, where everyone feels empowered to do their best work because they feel accepted, respected, and that they belong.
