Diversity Advancement Committee

Chair: Katherine Walukevich-Dienst, PhD

Functions

  • To encourage conversations about diversity and its role in the training of residents.
  • To promote education of residents and faculty on issues of individual and cultural diversity (including ethnic minorities, gender/sexual orientation, physical disabilities, SES, age) as these relate to clinical work, consultation, supervision, and evaluation, and research methods/design.
  • To serve as a resource “hub” of information (clinical and social service resources, research, lectures, and expertise at the University of Washington and surrounding community) on diversity issues for everyone involved in the internship.
  • To recruit and retain diverse residents, fellows, faculty, and speakers, as well as those interested in diversity issues.

Patient Populations

We serve a diverse population at all of our training sites.

Resident Participation
