About Equity & Inclusion in Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine

Dr. Marie Angèle Theárd, Vice Chair of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

“I look forward to working together to assure that students, trainees, faculty, staff, advanced clinical practitioners, and CRNAs—including members who are underrepresented in medicine—feel that they belong in our community. As such, I want to understand the experiences of individuals who work in our department and work towards assuring that each of us feels valued and respected. I believe that our council is integral for continued community engagement, education, and resident/faculty recruitment and retention.”
