DEIB RESOURCE HUB

Have you seen our DEIB resources on the CAPCSD website? Our DEIB webpage offers a variety of resources to help faculty and programs create an inclusive and collaborative learning environment. The resources include information on teaching and learning, research and publications, workshops and webinars, and a list of established affinity groups to support programs and help them grow and evolve in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

Each month, we also feature a new DEIB-focused article on timely and relevant topics. Topics range from fostering a sense of belonging to incorporating practices into the classroom and clinical education. If you missed the article from our monthly newsletter, you can always revisit our webpage to find these archived articles.
