Fostering Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility and Belonging

At KU Medical Center, we define diversity as a state of being in which the variety of cultures, experiences, expertise and viewpoints are valued and incorporated into the fabric of our community. Diversity encompasses age, education level, ethnicity and race, gender expression and identity, nationality, national origin, physical and mental ability, political and religious perspectives, sex, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, veteran status and other human differences.

About our training

KU Medical Center offers Fostering Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility and Belonging in our Communities training as one strategy to advance our goals of building a diverse and inclusive institution. We hope this training will spur meaningful, safe, brave and necessary conversations that create the type of campus culture that cultivates an environment of inclusivity and belonging where everyone feels valued. This training contributes to KU Medical Center’s mission of educating leaders, building healthy communities and making discoveries that change the world.
A group of 20 individuals from across our campuses, with diverse roles, perspectives and personal experiences, lead our Fostering Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility and Belonging trainings on a rolling basis. Continuing education (CE) credits may be offered; attendance requirements are enforced according to KU Medical Center Continuing Education & Professional Development standards.
