The Student Diversity Initiative (SDI) is a student-driven task force that addresses issues of diversity, inclusion, and cultural humility for medical students at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

SDI members are students who have united to create a community of people from all backgrounds who accept, value, and celebrate what diversity can do for NYU Grossman School of Medicine's community. Through recruitment, mentoring, fundraising, and forums to openly discuss issues of diversity and inclusion, this group provides opportunities for all students to grow and learn from their differences and connect through their similarities.
