HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL DIVERSITY STATEMENT:
Harvard Medical School is committed to convening and nurturing a diverse community of individuals dedicated to promoting excellence and leadership in medicine and science through education, research, clinical care and service. Our unique perspectives, talents, experiences and contributions as HMS students, trainees, faculty, staff and administrators are the foundation and drivers of our excellence.
We acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of our history and actively promote social justice, challenge discrimination and address disparities and inequities.
We celebrate the multiple dimensions of diversity that each member of our community offers, including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic circumstance, national origin, geographic background, immigration status, ability and disability, physical characteristics, veteran status, political ideology, religious belief and age.
We provide a safe environment where all members of our community can engage in dialogue, question, learn and contribute to their fullest potential.
We respect the dignity of all members of our community and aspire to ensure that all feel valued and supported.
We provide education and training that emphasize respect for differences in culture, language and life experience and that address both health disparities and the role that implicit and explicit bias can play in decision making.
We advance diversity and inclusion in recruitment, admissions, hiring, retention and promotion.
We prioritize diversity and inclusion as we develop HMS policies, practices and procedures.
We support community engagement and partner with our local, national and global communities to advance the diversity pipeline and eliminate health disparities.
We continuously monitor our diversity and inclusion efforts to ensure that the outcomes bring HMS closer to reflecting the diversity found in our patients, community and nation.

OFFICE FOR DIVERSITY INCLUSION AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP (DICP) MISSION
The mission of the Office for Diversity Inclusion and Community Partnership (DICP) is to advance diversity inclusion in health, biomedical, behavioral, and STEM fields that build individual and institutional capacity to achieve excellence, foster innovation, and ensure equity in health locally, nationally, and globally.
About DICP: The Office for Diversity Inclusion and Community Partnership (DICP) was established in 2002 (originally named Faculty Development and Diversity, est. 1995) to promote the increased recruitment, retention and advancement of diverse faculty, particularly individuals from groups underrepresented in medicine (URM), at HMS and to oversee all diversity activities involving Harvard Medical School (HMS) faculty, trainees, students and staff.
This is achieved through efforts that support the career development of junior faculty and fellows; train leaders in academic medicine and health policy; provide programs that address crucial pipeline issues, and sponsor awards and recognitions that reinforce behaviors and practices that are supportive of diversity, inclusion, mentoring, and faculty development. In addition, DICP activities support the Faculty Development and Diversity Task Force recommendations, particularly as they relate to mentoring, professional development and the design, creation and monitoring of workforce metrics. DICP also acts as a central resource for faculty development and diversity efforts of Harvard Catalyst | The Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center through the Program for Faculty Development and Diversity Inclusion (PFDD).
Minority Faculty Development Program: Recognizing the importance of addressing issues that impact faculty recruitment, impede faculty advancement and thwart faculty retention, in 1990, HMS initiated the Minority Faculty Development Program (MFDP). The MFDP, a component of DICP, offers consistent programming that is responsive to identified needs of individuals and institutions and serves as a nexus for collaborative work among HMS, HMS-affiliate faculty development programs and/or diversity/multicultural affairs offices. In addition, MFDP addresses issues of increasing the pool of minority and disadvantaged students interested in careers in science and medicine, and has built a three-pronged effort to encourage URM and disadvantaged students from all levels of the educational pipeline to pursue biomedical, STEM and health-related careers. Programs begin as early as the middle school level and carry on through the postgraduate level and involve curriculum development, teacher training, enhancing student research, and career development. DICP/MFDP’s work addresses HMS’ relationship with the community (internal and external) through the provision of programs that link HMS faculty, trainees and students with local, regional and national community-related activities. https://mfdp.med.harvard.edu/about/about-office
