The House Staff Diversity Council is a self-governing and representative body within the House Staff Council.

Our Mission

The House Staff Diversity and Inclusion Council (HSDIC) is a self-governing and representative body within the House Staff Council which aims to create a diverse and inclusive environment for residents from all Johns Hopkins Medicine residency training programs.

Our Vision

The House Staff Diversity and Inclusion Council was established to create a safe, respectful and supportive home for residents in all Johns Hopkins Medicine departments and to advance principles of diversity, equity and inclusion. We welcome participation from all interested Johns Hopkins Medicine residents, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or any other identity. We value the essential role of allies in promoting inclusivity and encourage their active participation in our initiatives to create a more equitable environment for all.

The House Staff Diversity and Inclusion Council is committed to:

• Creating a sense of belonging and community among our house staff and across affinity groups
• Advocating for social justice through local community service and advancing care for the populations we serve
• Creating forums for professional and leadership development, mentorship and sponsorship among house staff and faculty throughout Johns Hopkins Medicine
• Recruitment, retention and advancement of residents
• Advancing inclusive culture education and research to impact the clinical training climate and advance health care equity.
