I became concerned that “Diversity and Inclusion” was becoming no more than a buzzword. What does it mean to be a diverse entity, and what does it mean to feel included? Diversity encompasses acceptance, engagement, growth, and a willingness to be out of one's comfort zone regarding diversity of thought, perspective, gender or sexual identity, race, ethnicity, cultural experience, and socioeconomic status. I polled the individuals and groups with whom I was engaged and asked: “How does it feel to be included?” The summary of the responses I received was to feel safe, secure, valued, and supported. This is the perspective I bring to my work as the Associate Chair for Diversity and Inclusion in the Department of Medicine. I am a clinician practicing as a primary care provider and practitioner of addiction medicine with the CARE unit. I am also an educator of medical students, residents, and fellows, and faculty. My clinical and educational roles have expanded to include the development and implementation of a summer program for BUSM rising second-year students from underrepresented groups in medicine (URiMs), the Evans Student Scholars Program (ESS); the development and implementation of the Willock Faculty Development Program for BUMC URiM faculty; and serving as a coach for the Patient Experience team. I have served as a trustee of BUMG and remain a committed member of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion advisory group. I am also a member of the leadership team in my Section of General Internal Medicine. I earned my Doctor of Medicine from New York Medical College and hold a bachelor's degree from Harvard University. My expertise includes addiction medicine (Board Certified ASAM), cross-cultural humility and disparities in health care outcomes, sickle cell disease and transitions of care, faculty development and retention of underrepresented minorities, patient and care team experience, and community engagement regarding COVID vaccine hesitancy.
