House Staff Professional Development Program
The Office of Diversity Affairs House Staff Professional Development Program provides support, mentorship, and professional development to underrepresented in medicine (URiM) residents and fellows at NYU Langone. We invite all URiM house staff to apply. The recruitment and retention of diverse house staff are crucial toward NYU Langone’s efforts at creating an inclusive environment and achieving health equity.
The goals of the program are as follows:
- to provide house staff with an opportunity to network and collaborate with faculty, institutional leadership, and fellow house staff across departments
- to engage house staff in educational sessions focused on the transition to academic faculty positions, including applications, interviewing, and promotion
- to highlight for house staff opportunities that exist within NYU Langone, including research and scholarship during their training, as well as in their future careers
The program provides a formal opportunity for mentorship as URiM individuals advance along their path in academic medicine.
If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact us at diversity@nyulangone.org.
