Faculty & Staff

At OHSU, we believe diversity means creating a community of inclusion. That is why we support an environment where faculty, fellows, residents & staff from historically underrepresented populations can thrive and maximize their potential for creativity, innovation, quality patient care, educational excellence and outstanding service.  

The Diversity Advisory Council offers resources for multicultural awareness, understanding and education  for OHSU faculty, staff,  and residents.

The Cultural Competency Resource Guide is a list of websites for OHSU members interested in increasing their cultural competency in health care.  The information is useful to gain more knowledge in culturally competent care.

The Coalition for Health and Affirmation of Sexual Minorities

CHASM is an OHSU campus-wide organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) students, faculty, residents, and staff and their allies, friends, and family.

The goal of CHASM is the full and harmonious integration of all persons into the academic, social, and professional life of OHSU, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. CHASM seeks to build bridges of friendship and understanding between groups of people. Working together, the members of CHASM offer advocacy, education, and social support to the OHSU community.
