Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At Ascension Wisconsin, we are deeply committed to fostering a culture of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). We believe that a diverse and inclusive environment enriches our learning, enhances our ability to provide compassionate care, and prepares our residents to meet the needs of the communities we serve.

Our program aligns with Ascension Wisconsin’s commitment to the poor and underserved, a mission we hold close to our hearts. This commitment is reflected in Ascension’s ABIDE principles:

  • Appreciation: Valuing and celebrating the unique contributions of every individual.
  • Belongingness: Creating an environment where everyone feels accepted, respected, and supported.
  • Inclusivity: Ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard and perspectives are integrated into decision-making.
  • Diversity: Actively recruiting and welcoming individuals from all backgrounds, reflecting the communities we serve.
  • Equity: Addressing systemic barriers to ensure fair opportunities and resources for all.

We take immense pride in our diverse faculty, who bring a wide range of experiences, expertise, and cultural perspectives. As we grow our residency program, we are committed to hiring a diverse group of residents, ensuring that every individual has an equitable opportunity to excel in our program. Our recruitment process is designed to identify candidates based on merit, with an unwavering commitment to non-discrimination.

Our residency program is rooted in the understanding that diversity, equity, and inclusion are critical to addressing health disparities and providing high-quality care. We emphasize cultural competence and social accountability as integral parts of our curriculum, equipping our residents to advocate for underserved populations, deliver equitable, patient-centered care and address social determinants of health.

We invite you to join our residency program and be a part of a community dedicated to making a meaningful impact. Together, we will create a supportive, inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and embodies Ascension Wisconsin’s mission to serve all, especially the most vulnerable. We look forward to welcoming you to Ascension Wisconsin.
