Inclusive & Bias-Free

Feinberg is committed to an inclusive curriculum that is free of bias and promotes health equity for all.

We educate students in a safe and healthy learning environment that:

• Acknowledges the existence and impact of bias and encourages open dialogue and reflection
• Is inclusive in representations of healthy/normal/pathology
• Avoids stereotypes
• Acknowledges limitations of research that does not include underrepresented populations
• Explores differences in health outcomes and responses to treatment
• Develops skills for advocacy and intervention
• Confronts and mitigates attitudes and behaviors that adversely impact people with various identities based upon gender identity, sexuality, ability, socioeconomics, age, national origin, culture and political/religious views
