At Pennsylvania Hospital, and particularly in the Residency Program, we believe that diversity enriches the educational experience and builds stronger medical professionals who can best meet our patients’ needs. Additionally, physicians are often seen as leaders in the community, and building a future of diverse leaders is paramount. We take a broad view of diversity, and believe that a person’s background, experience, race, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression all contribute value to our teams and perspectives. We look forward to recruiting a diverse intern class as we continue to push for improved representation, inclusion, and equity.
Information about Penn Medicine’s diversity initiatives can be found on our Office of ID&E website. Additionally, if you have identified yourself in your ERAS application as someone from an underrepresented minority in medicine, and you are invited to interview, you will also receive an invitation to join our health system’s residency recruitment ID&E information sessions.
