Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

JayDoc Free Clinic - every Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday evening

Every month, residents can work with JayDoc, a student-run clinic staffed by resident & physician volunteers that provides non-emergency urgent and preventative care to the uninsured and underinsured populations of Greater Kansas City.

In 2019, our program partnered with JayDoc student leaders to make it easier for residents and faculty to connect with the clinic and volunteer. As a result, our resident participation increased exponentially to provide a total of more than 312 hours in service to patients in the community.

This year, our residents continue to take advantage of the opportunity to serve in this capacity, gaining insight into the challenges many patients in the community must navigate when in need of healthcare.

Community Conversations - every Thursday at noon

Throughout the year, multiple organizations across campus sponsor casual forums for residents, students, faculty & staff to share diverse insights on various topics of interest to our community. These forums cover topics in the areas of racism, culture, sustainability, wellness & current events.

Clinical Culture andDiversity Series - fall and spring

Sponsored by the Office of International Programs & Office of Diversity and Inclusion, this series explores issues related to inter-cultural communication in the clinical setting to help improve patient care and help KUMC become a more diverse and integrated campus.
