Minority Faculty Resources
There are a variety of minority faculty resources available at Yale that support Yale's commitment to promote racial, gender, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity.
Diversity
The Department of Internal Medicine strives to create an inviting environment and institutional culture of inclusivity where every individual’s unique and diverse characteristics are valued and respected. We sustain the richness of our department by recruiting and retaining trainees, staff and faculty from diverse backgrounds and talents. We believe an institution is best equipped to succeed when its members represent the population that it serves. At Yale, we have access to rich cultural opportunities to connect with other professionals in and around Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) and the city of New Haven.
To further expand the department’s diversity and inclusion efforts, in 2016, twelve years after holding the YNHH Adult Primary Care Center Medical Director position, Inginia Genao, MD, was appointed to the inaugural post of Department of Medicine associate chair for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. In 2017, she assumed the additional role of Graduate Medical Education director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for YNHH.
