Diversity Center of Excellence

Education Core of the Cornell Center for Health Equity

The annual GME Welcome Back is a residency recruitment event where residency applicants of primarily diverse backgrounds from fare and wide are invited to be introduced to the larger diversity community here at Weill Cornell Medicine and to celebrate our community’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and health equity. It does not have a bearing on the match process, but is meant to benefit the attendees as they make their decision about their rank list. The day consisted of welcoming remarks from various program directors and leaders of diversity at the medical school and departmental level, panels on residency at this institution by the directors and affiliates themselves, then a resident panel, followed by small group gatherings in the education center for applicants to chat with program directors or residents from the residency program of their interest, and all was wrapped with a reception in Archbold Commons.
