WHERE DO WE START? HOW DID WE GET HERE? WHERE ARE WE GOING?

Diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare is a progressive discussion, particularly in orthopaedic surgery. There are a number of areas that must be addressed to combat structural inequities. A significant missing link is equipping our diversity leaders with the abilities to assess learning environments, strategize effective interventions, and accurately measure the impact of change initiatives. With additional skills, these leaders can be empowered to address the deep-rooted issues behind cultural transformation in challenging environments.

  • The ODLC Cornell Strategic Diversity Leadership certification can provide a certain level of credibility which is important when tasked with setting priorities and policies of a large organization, some of which may be unpopular. 

  • The network that is created with the cohort will allow me to pull on human capital to broaden and deepen my outreach and impact.

I wanted to keep talking with her.” We learned a lot from your presentation and you gave us a lot of great advice. We would love to have have you back in say 6 months time so that we can share with you what we have accomplished in the meantime.
