Foundations of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Training
The purpose of the Foundations of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) mandatory online training module is to provide all members of our community with foundational knowledge and common language to better understand why diversity is core to our work at UCSF.
Developed by the Office of Diversity and Outreach and the UCSF Education Task Force, the training module is an important first step in our collective effort to live our PRIDE Values and ensure that our Campus and Health system are free of bias, discrimination, and hate.
The Foundations of DEI Training was assigned to all members of UCSF as a mandatory online course on January 25, 2021. The training was sent out via an email from [email protected] and it is required to complete within 90 days from the date you received the email.
We recommended that you complete this 60-minute training in one sitting. However, if you need to exit and return to it, the program will remember where you left off.
