Our Committment
In line with the institutional mission, vision, and values of Baylor College of Medicine, the Henry JN Taub Department of Emergency Medicine strives to promote a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment. Inclusive excellence is a vital component of our institutional culture.
We are committed to the recruitment and development of a diverse workforce in emergency medicine to provide high-quality, culturally-sensitive, patient-centered care; to conduct research that aims to eliminate health disparities; to provide service through community engagement initiatives; and to provide education and training of emergency physicians through an equity and social justice lens.
Our Division of Diversity and Health Equity was established to work towards achieving health equity and dismantling structural racism in academic emergency medicine through clinical practice, research, community engagement, and education.
