Regardless of where you do your residency, you’ll need someone who has your back. That would be me.

Dr. Walton- I love the commitment. Great work. Our community will greatly appreciate this.
Dr. Walton,
As applicant for the 2022 Cycle, this is everything I needed to hear. The first step is recognizing there is a problem. Actions, will always speak louder than words on a page when addressing DEI. I see the action, hopefully this will be a guiding light to other urban residency programs to take a hard look in the mirror at the diversity they are reflecting. You are really doing amazing work!
I absolutely agree! It is wonderful to see that under represented communities are being spoken for! In professional settings such as medicine, something as “minute” as cultural diversity is often overlooked. But when patients can relate to their physicians, quality of care can go much further. Sharing a common ground can be especially beneficial.
Love the commitment to DEI I’m seeing at Sinai!
Doctora Walton, es un placer en conocerte! As a current applicant for this 2022 residency cycle, these words are encouraging. DEI is a labor of love, with emphasis on labor. Glad to see the initial steps that will translate into amazing outcomes .
Dr. Walton – you are doing great work! Sinai Chicago’s commitment to diversity and inclusion shows that we are a diverse and inclusive community of passionate people who are working hard to make a difference in the quality of healthcare for our patients… and this work has just begun.
