As interim dean of RUSH Medical College, I have the privilege of leading a team that is dedicated to making all members of our community feel welcome. We strive to reflect the communities knowingly and unknowingly inhabited by our patients, providers and their families of choice, and do so in a manner that uplifts us all. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for students and trainees from all backgrounds, in order to continue growing on our journey to serve our patients and one another. Together we are better.
