#MedEd: Wellness II - Diversity & Inclusion

Today we sit down with Dionne Poulton, PhD, who is the new Chief Diversity Officer of the Care New England health system, of which our hospital (Women and Infants of RI) is part. You can see an additional interview with Dr. Poulton here, and check out her book, It’s Not Always Racist…But Sometimes It Is on Amazon.

Dr. Poulton today walks us through diversity and the workplace, its importance, and some practical knowledge for promoting diversity and responding to questionable or poor behaviors at work.

Also be sure to check out this month’s Green Journal article on the imperative for inclusion of transgender and gender non-binary individuals in OB/GYN care. We hope that implicit in this is an inclusion of a diverse group of individuals in medical education to provide the best and most inclusive obstetrics and gynecology care.
