BioCoRE Program Director
Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, United States, 27703
School of Medicine
Established in 1930, Duke University School of Medicine is the youngest of the nation's top medical schools. Ranked sixth among medical schools in the nation, the School takes pride in being an inclusive community of outstanding learners, investigators, clinicians, and staff where interdisciplinary collaboration is embraced and great ideas accelerate translation of fundamental scientific discoveries to improve human health locally and around the globe. Composed of more than 2,600 faculty physicians and researchers, nearly 2,000 students, and more than 6,200 staff, the Duke University School of Medicine along with the Duke University School of Nursing, and Duke University Health System comprise Duke Health, a world-class academic medical center.
OCCUPATIONAL SUMMARY
The IDEALS office leads centralized efforts to support the basic science departments in three ways: 1) developing and implementing pathway programs and recruitment initiatives to increase the diversity of the trainee and faculty population in the School of Medicine, 2) developing lectures and training materials to increase the cultural competency of the School of Medicine academic community, and 3) providing strategic support and accountability metrics to the Basic Science department chairs to promote inclusion in the research environment at the unit level. The Duke Biosciences Collaborative for Research Engagement (BioCoRE) Program is the signature PhD student support and development initiative within the IDEALS Office.
The goal of BioCoRE is to create a strong and supportive community of PhD students who are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
