The Brown University Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) committee is made up of residents, faculty, and staff with goals of encouraging diversity and inclusion in recruitment, maintaining a structured curriculum to provide education about biases, microaggressions and systemic racism, and developing community outreach activities that give back to and strengthen community connections.  We acknowledge that growth and innovation stems from encouraging and enhancing diversity.

The Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University is committed to building a community of diversity and inclusion in medical education.  Our residents are involved with the following groups:

• Brown Minority Housestaff Association (BMHA), an organization that strives to promote the advancement of underrepresented housestaff through community building, mentorship, networking and advocacy.
