About our work
MD, MA, FRCPC
ad.oid.tfom@utoronto.ca
I practice General Internal Medicine at the Toronto General Hospital and serve as the Associate Dean, Inclusion and Diversity, as well as the Interim Vice Dean, Strategy at the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
As a mixed Anishinaabe physician and medical educator, and an education researcher at the Wilson Centre, my focus is on integrating Indigenous and critical perspectives from the social sciences into medical education as well as on organization change and system transformation for cultural safety in healthcare.
EDI Program Coordinator
shari.thompsonricci@utoronto.ca
I facilitate meaningful connections and lead dynamic educational initiatives.
Grounded in an anti-oppression pedagogy, I strive to thread a range of community based and strategic approaches that are aligned in principles of equity, diversity, inclusion, Indigeneity, accessibility (EDIIA). I aim to foster a community of belonging and collaboration at Temerty Medicine and beyond.
Manager, Office of Inclusion & Diversity
sab.khan@utoronto.ca
I lead the strategic and operational management of the Office of Inclusion and Diversity, including planning and oversight of key initiatives and priorities aimed at advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion within Temerty Medicine’s learning and working environments, as well as broader University and hospital-based strategies.
I am interested in utilizing collaborative, culturally safe and strengths-based approaches to develop EDIIA policies, programs, research and resources for faculty, learners and staff at Temerty Medicine.
Making inclusion and equity essential components of how we define and foster excellence in scholarship, practice and health outcomes.
There are many offices across Temerty Medicine and U of T that are committed to advancing equity, diversity and inclusion for learners, staff and faculty members.
