Diversity

Diversity embodies inclusiveness, mutual respect, and multiple perspectives and serves as a catalyst for change resulting in health equity. In this context we are mindful of all aspect of human differences such as immigrants and first generation Americans, the first language spoken at home, first generation college graduates, race/ethnicity, sex, gender identity & sexual orientation, and age.

Inclusion

Inclusion is essential to diversity successfully. The humanistic culture of scholarship and achievement at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine assumes that everyone in its learning community is embraced and included through professional development, education, policy, and practice. The school's culture is designed to foster belonging, respect, and value for all.
