Created and Finalized in September 2020 by the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Working Group, Co-Chaired by Onye Nnorom and Ike Okafor.
The Temerty Faculty of Medicine of the University of Toronto is committed to the principles of inclusion and diversity in all that we do.
The Universityās policies are important building blocks for advancing an intentionally inclusive environment. View the official policy on harassment, and see the full list of U of T policies and guidelines from the Division of People Strategy, Equity & Culture.Ā
We are able to make connections and referrals for equity-related workshops, information sessions and training opportunities for all members of the Temerty Medicine community.
Diversity Dialogue events facilitate discussion and reflection on issues related to equity, diversity, inclusion and social justice in healthcare practice and research. Check out upcoming events or collaborate on creating one.

If you are a Temerty Faculty of Medicine learner that is interested in equity, inclusion and diversity, join the LEAD Committee to discuss and respond to EDI concerns in a supportive community.
The Diversity Mentorship ProgramĀ aims to connect U of T medical students or first year residents from underrepresented/minoritized groups to faculty mentors who are able to support and assist them in their educational and professional growth.
DivAC works to ensure that there are initiatives and strategies for inclusion, diversity and equity that are Faculty-wide with formal accountability to the Dean. It is comprised of faculty members, staff, and learners at Temerty as well as U of T community members and representatives from TAHSN partners.
