EXCLUSIVE — IcahnMountSinai in New York City has taken steps to overhaul its curriculum and approach to teaching to incorporate extensive anti-racism and diversity, equity, and inclusion principles.

" position, the school says it is reforming its curriculum and needs an applicant who will"co-develop with the Department of Medical Education’s Office of Curricular Affairs an integrative anti-oppressive framework to be used in the redesign of the curriculum that is expected to be launched in the fall 2024."

The school has also modified how it evaluates faculty. In 2017, faculty evaluations were fairly standard, with no DEI principles or anti-racism efforts included in assessments. But in 2022, faculty were evaluated for their incorporation of the topics of"racism, bias, diversity, equity, and inclusion."

For the Clinical section, faculty members are evaluated for"initiatives that improve access to high quality disease prevention, diagnosis and care for diverse populations in a demonstrably equitable manner, Programs directed at care to patients regardless of their racial, gender, cultural, socioeconomic or other attributes that historically contribute to disparities in care."
