Diversity

The Renal-Electrolyte and Hypertension Division at the University of Pennsylvania is committed to the highest quality of patient care, research and education. We recognize that in order to achieve these objectives it is necessary to recruit and retain physicians and other health care professionals who represent our diverse patient population. With this recognition in mind we are committed to:

• The recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities at all levels in the Renal-Electrolyte and Hypertension Division
• Career development and mentorship of current underrepresented minority fellows and faculty
• Establishment of a "pipeline" to ensure that underrepresented minority students and residents, clinical fellows, post-doctoral research fellows and junior faculty have appropriate mentorship and guidance for career advancement
• Fostering research in multicultural renal related health issues, outcomes and policy
• Coordinating efforts with the university, medical school and hospital to increase and retain underrepresented minority faculty
