The Graduate Medical Education Department at AtlantiCare recognizes the absolute importance of increasing diversity and achieving equity at all levels of its organization – medical students, residents and faculty. We also acknowledge that we have to continuously work to reach this goal by together recognizing, acknowledging and eliminating bias and inequity at all levels of patient care, education and leadership. We are committed to accomplishing these goals and strive for an inclusive and supportive training and mentoring experience for all residents and students. We strongly believe that a diverse Graduate Medical Education Department provides better care and teaching for our patients and learners as well as fostering empathy and compassion. These attributes are essential for achieving equity and excellence in medicine and public health.
The AtlantiCare GME Department is committed to recruiting the best and brightest residents of diverse ethnic, racial, gender, sexual orientation and religious backgrounds. We believe that the unique qualities of each resident are integral to the strength of our programs and facilitate our efforts to develop a physician workforce that mirrors the diverse population that we serve. By fostering an environment that welcomes diversity along with inclusion, we cultivate physicians who practice high quality, individualized medicine integrated with cultural responsiveness.
