We have additional space on 2/2/21 if someone would like to join the Palliative Care training session.

The initial session will be in person on 2/2 at the Vagelos Education Center from 9a-5p. If you are interested in becoming part of this initial group, please email Lily Abrukin (la2645@cumc.columbia.edu) or James Kenny (jfk2143@cumc.columbia.edu) and I for further information.

From Dr. Stefan Flores: CUIMC Diversity Day
Just a heads up to block the date for our first CUIMC diversity day on Feb 3rd, @ 4-6 pm.
The purpose of the event is to serve as an inaugural day to recruit prospective residents from all departments, including Emergency medicine, surgery, medicine, pediatrics that are BIPOC, LGBTQ ,and those from historically under-represented backgrounds. Considering interview season is currently underway, this will allow for them to revisit the institution virtually.
The event will be warm and informal and intend to highlight that our institution values diversity and anti-racism. It will allow students to connect with all faculty and residents including those who identify as BIPOC /LGBTQ throughout the institution , and a small talk from our keynote speaker!
PLEASE Save the date- We need diverse representation from ALL backgrounds, especially those within the DEI committee!
Considering the day is only 2 months away, we want to advertise and let students know ASAP.
More to come, but we would love help/input from anyone including the residents, considering we need to showcase why this program is worth coming to!
Thanks,
Stefan/Almaz/Chloe and the DEI committee
