INFORMATION FOR

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Support

Yale School of Medicine is committed to a vibrant community life, in which members encounter and appraise a broad array of ideas, are treated with dignity and respect, and feel welcome to make their voices heard.

Office of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) seeks to build and sustain a thriving diverse community empowered to transform health care and biomedical science.

We envision an inclusive community where everyone's voice and contribution are valued and respected. Through specific programs and initiatives, we aim to create a sense of belonging for all.

Department Diversity Chairs and Champions

As part of DEI's plans to enhance diversity and inclusion within each organizational unit and at every level at YSM, departments have a diversity vice chair or champion. They are instrumental in engaging their departmental colleagues to promote our efforts throughout the school.

Human Resources Generalists

As Yale responds to the dynamic opportunities presented by a global environment and the challenges of new technology, it requires highly skilled staff members, who are able to change direction quickly, and respond to evolving departmental business needs.

Deputy Title IX Coordinators

Yale University and Yale School of Medicine are committed to providing an environment free from discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression and membership in any other protected classes as set forth in Connecticut and federal law.

Discrimination & Harassment Resource Coordinators

You can reach out to a Discrimination and Harassment Resource Coordinator (DHRC) or can talk with others, such as the Dean of Student Affairs or the Office of Institutional Equity and Accessibility. DHRCs receive concerns and offer advice and guidance related to diversity and inclusion, discrimination and harassment, retaliation, and equal opportunity.

Antidiscrimination Policy

Yale University is committed to maintaining a non-discriminatory learning and working environment for students, faculty, and staff. Yale adopts this policy with a commitment to preventing and addressing discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, consistent with Connecticut and federal law. At Yale we refer to this policy as either the antidiscrimination policy, nondiscrimination policy, or policy against discrimination.
