Visiting Diversity Clerkship in Pediatrics Scholarship Program

*Due to COVID-19, we were unable to offer an in-person rotation experience. The opportunity was temporarily replaced with a virtual experience. 
 

Pediatric Virtual Rotation: Perspectives in Medicine

A visiting virtual rotation that focuses on preparing students for residency, patient safety/quality, and diversity in medicine/healthcare disparities. Applicants who are underrepresented in medicine are prioritized for selection for the rotation. The rotation schedule was built to enhance exposure for diverse students interested in learning more about the community we serve and about our support structures in place for diverse residents. Sessions include networking sessions with both residents and faculty members.

**In future years, the program - in conjunction with the student leadership team - hopes to offer both the scholarship and the virtual opportunity to further increase exposure to our program and to enhance recruitment efforts.

Diversity & Inclusion at LSUHSC

At LSUHSC, we are taking steps to transform the institution into a culture where racial bias and inequity has no place. Diversity among leadership, faculty, staff and learners enriches the educational experience for all learners and enables us to better address healthcare inequities and cultural competency in clinical care. The diverse community and patient population that LSUHSC serves fosters trainees' understanding and effective delivery of care to individuals of diverse backgrounds, which is integral to the institution's academic mission. As an inclusive community, LSUHSC embraces the full range of human difference: race, gender, ethnicity, age, culture, national origins, religious belief, physical ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic class, and political convictions.

To demonstrate LSU's commitment to diversity and inclusion as core institutional values, a Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Inclusion will be charged with promoting inclusion and diversity in research, education, patient care and community service by creating programs for successful recruitment of retention of faculty, staff and students from diverse and under-represented communities.

Specifically, the School of Medicine's Office of Diversity and Community Engagement has started a series to develop awareness, literacy and acknowledgement of the structural frameworks which intersect in the space of race, health care inequities, and disparities.

LSUHSC New Orleans welcomes, needs and celebrates its diverse voices. Our training program is our present and future, and serves a beautifully diverse community. We are committed to an inclusive, vibrant training experience, and to learning how to care more completely for each other and our patients.
