The Department of OB/GYN is committed to:

• Creating an inclusive and welcoming training, learning and working environment where growth is encouraged, curiosity is celebrated and diversity is embraced.

• Providing racially and ethnically diverse patients equitable and optimal access to care.

• Supporting the recruitment, retention, structured mentorship, advancement and promotion of historically underrepresented learners, faculty and staff.

• Engaging in health disparities research to improve health outcomes in marginalized populations.

“Diversity and inclusion provides an avenue for providers like myself to demand equitable care for their patients, through the recruitment of physicians who reflect the community of patients they serve. It also provides mentorship and support for individuals, who are occupying spaces not originally intended for them, trailblazing for change.”
-Daisy Cruz, PGY 3

“Part of the reason why Harbor feels like home to me is the open, welcoming and authentic environment. As someone who didn’t come out until entering medical school, it came as a pleasant surprise when I felt 100% comfortable openly mentioning my same-sex partner to my residents and attendings during my sub-I at harbor. Our OB/GYN department is committed to diversity and inclusion, and recognizes the value of unique lived experiences and perspectives.” -Sam Reed, PGY 4
