The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Department was started in 2020 as a response to many current events and to the changing climate of neurology practice. The DEI committee is lead by resident and faculty members, and meets once a month to discuss topics related to research in DEI.
Thus far, the UPMC Neurology DEI Department has presented nationally at the American Academy of Neurology, has created a longitudinal presence at the Birmingham Free Clinic of Pittsburgh, and has developed a DEI curriculum for the neurology residents.
