Our Mission
The Department of Radiology seeks to improve the representation of residents, fellows, faculty, and staff from all backgrounds and underrepresented communities within the field of medicine. We hope to foster and nurture a culture of inclusive excellence where members of our department (irrespective of age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and socioeconomic status) can thrive, succeed, and inspire others to do the same. We hold ourselves accountable to this intentional vision by: building an inclusive and integrated community; creating safe and brave spaces that nurture dialogue; denouncing underprivilege and marginalization; valuing the unique perspectives, strengths, and critical inquiries of each member of our department; fostering an environment in which everyone can celebrate their individuality; facilitating a new generation of ideas and leaders that embrace equity and mutual respect; engaging with diversity across the local, regional, and global landscapes; and embracing decolonial, antiracist, feminist and queer values.
Our Vision
The Department of Radiology commits to creating new standards for inclusive innovation by developing initiatives and supporting leaders that keep in mind the growth of our department and the people who define it. To do so, we look to our institutional and departmental goals as we work to:
- Continually improve on our demographic diversity.
- Promote a genuine sense of belonging for all members of the Cornell community.
- Prepare all constituents for an interconnected diverse world.
- Utilize and leverage the diversity of thought, backgrounds, and identities of our constituents for innovation and scholarly excellence.
