Created and finalized in September 2020 by the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Working Group, co-Chaired by Onye Nnorom and Ike Okafor.

Making inclusion and equity essential components of how we define and foster excellence in scholarship, practice and health outcomes.

Programs and initiatives

Developed by community and for community, this event series aims to create a safe space for guests to (re)connect with each other as an introductory effort to building a culturally relevant community of support. 

Are you a Temerty Medicine learner with a great idea for an equity, diversity or inclusion (EDI) initiative? Transform your idea into action by applying to the EDI Action Fund to receive up to $500!

DivAC works to ensure that there are initiatives and strategies for inclusion, diversity and equity in place across the entire Temerty Faculty of Medicine with formal accountability to the Dean.

  • Are interested in collaborating on an equity initiative or want to get involved in EDIIA work
  • Have any questions regarding equity, diversity, inclusion, Indigeneity, or accessibility
  • Want to be connected to other groups, individuals or resources in a specific EDIIA area

Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge the land on which the Temerty Faculty of Medicine operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the New Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
