Message from the Associate Vice President for Health Affairs/Diversity Initiatives To our HSC community,
In the past year, we have seen many changes that have taken place on ourHSC campus and beyond, such as the development of the University's strategic plan, re-envisioning UL Health, and the enhanced partnership between the Department ofPediatrics and Norton Healthcare. Core to all of these changes is the consistent message of diversity, inclusion, equity, and engagement. We recognize thesecomponents as key to our vision and mission of valuing an environment whereour constituents can bring their authentic self to the workplace and expect to reachtheir full potential. As President Bendapudi continually states, “UofL is a greatplace to learn, work and in which to invest because we will celebrate diversity, fosterequity, and strive for inclusion.” We continue to reflect on our Cardinal Principles, including the importance of Respect, and thevalue of Diversity and Inclusion. Respecting each other, no matter their position in theorganization, and embracing the many differences in perspectives, thoughts, experiences, beliefsystems and cultures of our students, faculty, staff, and administrators empower each of us toshare ideas and strategies, with the ultimate goal of advancing our comprehensive strategic plan. In an environment of incivility in our nation, we cannot confuse our commitment to freedom ofexpression to include hateful and harmful acts toward others. We need to be diligent in our effortsand responses to ensure our campus is a place where everyone feels a sense of belonging; whereeveryone has equitable opportunity; where everyone not only survives, but also thrives.Over the past year, the HSC ODI restructured our mission and vision statements to align with theUniversity’s leadership and the University's Strategic Imperatives focused on inclusive learning,and equitable workforce environments, and a commitment to invest. These statements moreaccurately reflect our present path as we focus on our future. Working across our campus, ourUniversity at large, and community partners in collaboration with our educators, researchers, andhealth care practitioners, we can make a difference in our quest to achieve health equity in andoutside our community. Consistent with our vision statement of striving to be “a national model for innovation for inclusiveteaching-learning-working environments and for leadership in strategies that facilitate healthequity,” we report on our progress for this year. The following narratives describe a campus full ofaspirations, but still reflect a continuum of progress that does not have an end-point. It is areflection of our desire to accomplish more, do be more, to dream more. As in the past, we ask foreveryone’s involvement on this journey toward innovation and excellence. Best Regards, V. Faye Jones, MD, PhD, MSPH
HSC OFFICE OF DIVERSITY & INCUSION
Our vision is to be a national model for innovation for inclusive teaching-learning-
working environments and for leadership in strategies that facilitate health equity.
HSC Heart of a Champion Event at Bates Memorial Baptist Church
Vision
MissionOur mission is to provide evidence based resources, advocacy and support for faculty,
staff, students, and administrators to enhance diversity and an inclusive environment
in which to learn, work, and invest. In addition, the HSCODI presents opportunities
and strategies for enhancement of cultural competence among the UL HSC
community through programming, interprofessional and community partnerships to
achieve health equity by re-envisioning educational frameworks, developing fuller
research agendas, enriching clinical experiences and deepening community
involvement.
Care for self, care for one another as the Cardinal Family and care for the community beyond. We are a
community—not just a collection of individuals. We are a community—not just buildings connected by an HVAC
system.
We keep our promises. We own mistakes. We are accountable to the team.
We respect each other’s humanity and dignity, no matter what our positions in the organization are. We also
respect our right to differing and conflicting positions on issues. We will be a place that prepares students for
ideas, not protects students from ideas.
We celebrate diversity of thought, perspectives and life experiences. As our state motto declares: United We
Stand, Divided We Fall. We want everyone, in the richness of all of their many unique and intersecting identities
to feel included in the Cardinal fold.
We will be true to our mission of an urban research university to create, disseminate and apply knowledge.
Integrity is our collective commitment to make decisions with the best interests of our university in mind and to
share the decision making rationale and the outcomes.
Each of us will identify for ourselves the way in which we make a difference. We know we must solve the
problems of access and affordability to give everyone the opportunity to find and pursue their own noble
purpose.
We will recognize that things change and when they do, we must change things. We know that when adaptation
in an organization does not keep pace with adaptation in the environment, the organization will not survive.
We recognize that management is a position but leadership is an activity. We will all behave as owners of the
University of Louisville because we are. “We are UofL” is not just a hashtag or a slogan. It is our declaration of
leadership and ownership.

MULTICULTURALASSOCIATION OFPRE-HEALTHSTUDENTS (MAPS)
MAPS has supported, encouraged, and prepared pre-health (more specifically,pre medical) students since 1999. The ultimate goal of MAPS is to producemore competitive health profession applicants, diversify health professionalschool enrollment, and the health professions workforce. This will beaccomplished by better preparing pre-health students who may be fromunderrepresented groups, medically underserved areas, and/or from adisadvantaged background. To meet the goals of the organization, MAPS membership provides studentswith additional academic support, contacts for shadowing opportunities, astrong alumni base, community service involvement, pre-health resources,health career information, and advising/application support.

EMILY COMBS2016 Cohort
2022 ULSOM ClassAfter graduating with my B.A. in Psychology from theUniversity of Kentucky, I found myself unsure of what todo next. I had always imagined going to graduate schooland pursue counseling and research. However, shortlybefore graduation, I decided – for reasons that still remaina mystery to me – that I no longer wanted to follow thiscareer path. Thus, I graduated without a plan or a job. Fortunately, the employment that I eventually foundhelped me realize that I had a passion for people andhealing. Participating in the UofL Post-Bac Pre-MedProgram has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve evermade. Not only did I have unparalleled support fromfaculty and advisors that helped me be successful in class,but I gained amazing friendships that have continued intomedical school. Gaining acceptance into medical school isas incredible a commitment as medical school itself. Iencourage anyone who has a passion to pursue medicineand is looking for support during the career transition toconsider the UofL Post-Bac Pre-Med Program.

Trends in Workforce A priority for our schools isexpanding the diversity of theworkforce. Diversity in its’ broadestsense expands our talent pool. Moreimportantly, diverse workforces aremore effective and creativity. Areview of the data reveals littlechange over the years in this area.As a campus, we have stressed theurgency of aligning our diversitypractices with the university’s goal. Women in

Women continue to bedisproportionately under-represented inacademia.

CULTURAL HUMILITY
ACADEMY
Led by: Ryan Simpson and CoFacilitated by: Marian Vasser, TrinidadJackson, Ramzi Sabree and David Owen
Cultural Humility is a concept that is morefocused on the self, individuals andinstitutions, than learning about aspects ofvarious cultures as many culturalcompetency based approaches typicallyhave done. The Academy is built around exploring andlearning skills about critical self-critique/reflection and lifelong commitmentto doing so, addressing power differentialsin all situations, and holding institutionsaccountable for the impacts of theirpolicies, structures and practices. To aid in the interaction of participants andbolster rich discussions, the Academy was asmall cohort based to allow participates tobuild trust and commitment with eachother and to explore sometimes difficulttopics.
Together participants explored topics intwelve in person sessions, each with theirunique, yet interconnected topics. Participants were required to do pre-work toprepare for sessions, and to reflect on thetopics and activities brought up during theirsessions. Facilitators of the Academy camefrom a variety of backgrounds, skill sets andperspectives and were actively involved insessions. By the end of the Academy eachparticipant gained valuable self-critique skills,and had a plan to implement their newknowledge and skills both personally andback in their departments. The cohort isexpected to hold each other accountable andsupport each other in carrying out theiraction plans at both the personal anddepartmental levels.

UNCONSCIOUS BIASWORKSHOPS
Unconscious or implicit bias refers to apositive or negative mental attitude orstereotype toward a person or group anindividual holds at an unconscious level.Evidence indicates that implicit attitudesamong health care professionals can resultin unequal treatment in disparatepopulations. Fortunately, these bias aremalleable.
Explore the science and research of unconscious biasIdentify how bias and the processes of the unconsciousmind can impact critical healthcare decisions andresultsBecome aware of your own background, and its impacton your perceptions so you are better able to advocatefor inclusion within your organizationApply new strategies for practicing more consciousawareness individually and organizationally

SESSIONS OFFERED
The term. microagression, was initiallycoined by psychiatrist and HarvardUniversity professor Chester M. Pierce in1970 to describe insults and dismissalsdirected toward African Americanpopulations. The definition has beenexpanded by Derald Sue, PhD to describe"brief and commonplace daily verbal,behavioral, or environmental indignities,whether intentional or unintentional, thatcommunicate hostile, derogatory, ornegative prejudicial slights and insultstoward any group, particularly culturallymarginalized groups."

2018 CLIMATESURVEY
Diversity and inclusion accountability requires the commitment and engagement of each ofus at all levels. It is more than just the numbers and involves a variety of assessments tomove us forward. As Edward E. Hubbard, author and diversity return-on-investmentmeasurement expert states, “one of the ‘critical misses’ occurs when organizations fail toassess the entire culture system and infrastructure and processes surrounding thediversity and inclusion change process.” With that “truth” in mind, we continue to focus onthe institutional and social context, structures and policies, and human capital to measureour progress.
It is our goal to create an environment of inclusivity and active engagement of the campuscommunity. An inclusive campus can be accomplished by cultivating a supportive andequitable environment for our workforce by ensuring constituent engagement.
Disaggregated data of the campus climate survey provided by Dr. Craig Ziegler
