Foundations of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training

The purpose of the Foundations of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) mandatory online training module is to provide all members of our community with foundational knowledge and common language to better understand why diversity is core to our work at UCSF.

Developed by the Office of Diversity and Outreach and the UCSF Education Task Force, the training module is an important first step in our collective effort to live our PRIDE Values and ensure that our Campus and Health system are free of bias, discrimination, and hate.
