GME & Diversity

Attracting and developing a resident workforce is important for the care of patients as well as the education of our medical teams.

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives (ODII) is involved in the following:

  1. Recruitment: using a team approach and including SKMC medical students, SKMC faculty, and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH) residents, medical students are provided with information about Jefferson residency programs.
  2. Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals host a variety of Visiting Student Diversity Clerkships for students, including those who are underrepresented in Medicine. They provide financial support for fourth-year medical students outside of SKMC, giving the student a chance to learn in-depth about Jefferson Residency Programs as well as a chance to meet with the Senior Associate Dean for Diversity and Community Engagement.
