Our Values

Community

Respect. Advocacy. Well-being.

We foster a culture of respect, empathy, and mutual support—where everyone feels heard, valued, and empowered. We advocate for the rights and needs of our patients and colleagues with trust and transparency. 

We promote well-being and joy in practice, recognizing that work-life balance is key to excellence.

The Division of General Internal Medicine is committed to promoting an inclusive and equitable culture that supports and celebrates the diversity of all of its members. We believe that by including people from different backgrounds and with different life experiences at every level of our many activities, we will be better at solving complex problems, caring for our diverse patients, educating the next generation of physicians, and contributing to science. Our overall goal is to improve health equity and end health disparities for our patients and the communities we serve. Our success in this ambitious goal depends on creating a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace, educational environment, and clinical practice for all.
