Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The Inclusive Community Initiative is a resident-led movement to proactively honor the richness of experience and perspective of our Anesthesiology family. Our mission is to create an environment where residents from any-and-all backgrounds feel respected, supported, and valued. We believe this is how new ideas, new leaders and new connections flourish in an increasingly diverse global society. We are deeply committed to sustaining a diverse and rich learning environment where every resident benefits from the experiences of colleagues different from them by race, ethnicity, orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic site of origin, etc. We are spearheading efforts to transcend boundaries to embrace the interdependence of our world by intentionally recruiting and retaining residents/faculty of diverse backgrounds.

Lets celebrate both the diversity and unity that connects us -- help us in our commitment to being an inclusive and welcoming community! Please contact Anna with any questions.

    “Salut! I’m Anna- I was born in Montreal but spent most of my life in Beirut, where I went to the American University of Beirut for both my undergraduate studies and medical school. I then transitioned from being an AUBite to a Yalie where I did my research in hypovolemic physiology. I am a fan of all things sun, sand, and yoga. As someone who only just recently moved to the US, I have had a lot of catching up to do but it has been such a beautiful journey especially with my co-residents who have become family and my home away from home. Vandy has been surreal and I can’t wait to share all what I’ve learned with you!”
