about the program

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

The Northwestern Lake Forest program remains dedicated to advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). The historical and current barriers faced by so many, including those within the healthcare and education systems, can no longer be perpetuated. DEI is a cornerstone of our program and firmly embedded into all clinical and educational experiences. Our residents are institutional leaders in this area, and our program is looked upon to continue making meaningful advances regarding DEI. Learn More
