Goals G, H & I Cross-Cutting Goals

ACTIONS COMPLETED:

1. Individuals from across KU Medical Center have been invited to participate in a process that will inform implementation of the strategic plan's goal of increasing diversity at KU Medical Center. Through use of a survey tool and large group discussions, campus leaders gathered data about the breadth of activities underway at KU Medical Center. More than 130 initiatives that address diversity, cultural competence, and professionalism were reported in the initial survey results, including school-based programs, campus-wide activities, grant-funded centers, and many more. The next step in the process is for a team of approximately 12 leaders from various facets of KU Medical Center to review the data, peer models and other information, and make recommendations to the KU Medical Center Executive Leadership Team for a future progressive, integrated approach to these important missions for our campus.
