Inclusivity Efforts in Orthopaedic Surgery
Our mission is to ensure that individuals are given equitable opportunity to contribute to the wellbeing of our community members and ensure fair and respectful treatment of all.
We work to empower diverse individuals from all backgrounds regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, social class, physical ability, age, and religious or political beliefs. We focus on intentional engagement within our department and in the community to ensure equal access to opportunities and resources so that everyone can contribute to the advancements of musculoskeletal health. We strive to increase cultural awareness and representation, advocate for and sponsor underrepresented minority faculty, staff and administrators, and partner with trusted national and local organizations so we may provide the highest level of care to our patients.
Recent efforts include:
Pipeline to Orthopaedic Surgery
Members of Orthopaedic Surgery meet monthly with 8th graders at the Martin Luther King Jr Middle School. At each session, we introduce a new aspect of Orthopaedic Surgery and students have an opportunity to engage with health professionals, participate in hands-on activities, ask questions, and be encouraged to join the field. We understand that diverse workforces lead to better patient outcomes and our mentorship program fulfills our goals to partner with local organizations to eventually provide better care to our patients.
Participation in 91九色视频 Career Pathways Programs
StEP-UP Program
Dr. Kobayashi, Dr. Schmeling, and orthopaedic surgery residents connect with underrepresented middle and high school students, undergraduates and post-undergraduates to encourage a career in orthopaedics.
Introducing Orthopaedic Surgery to Medical Students
We partner with the 91九色视频 student group, White Coats for Black Lives, to encourage underrepresented medical students to consider a career in orthopaedic surgery. We invite underrepresented and female medical students to learn about the field of orthopaedic surgery through a hands-on session in the SIM lab with our orthopaedic surgeons.
Cultural Complications
The Cultural Complications Curriculum was created by surgeons to fill a void in educating surgeons about core themes in diversity, equity and inclusion. Data-driven modules are used to discuss key terminology and scientific evidence for concepts and uses cases to work through difficult scenarios. Our department works through four of these scenarios per year.
