At NYU Langone Health, we are committed to cultivating a community that reflects those we serve. Inclusive Excellence is also ingrained in the mission of NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine. Our innovative medical education brings together highly qualified students, many from diverse backgrounds, including  first-generation college graduates, and prepares them to be physician leaders.

Our faculty are an inclusive community of lifelong learners, committed to our three-part mission—to care, to teach, to discover—ensuring that we listen to and learn from all our employees, patients and students. Inclusivity of lived experience allows us to: consistently deliver top-quality care for patients, making us better, more empathetic clinicians; educate and train the next generation of exceptional physicians; and conduct groundbreaking research. Working together in this way makes us better teachers, better care providers, better students, better researchers, and a better health system.

Faculty are also contributing to an inclusive workplace by serving as Inclusion and Belonging ambassadors from each department to exchange a breath of ideas at monthly meetings of the Inclusion & Belonging Committee. We draw on our own diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to excel in innovation and problem-solving.

Student-led organizations that promote an inclusive environment include, but are not limited to,  the American Muslim Medical Student Association, Asian Pacific American Medical Students Association, Jewish Medical Student Association, Latin Medical Student Association, and LGBTQ+ Medical Student Association. All of the student-led clubs are open to all students, residenct and faculty.  Additionally, our MD students provide free medical care to uninsured and underinsured patients in our local community at the Wellness Initiative Student-Run Health (WiSH) Clinic and mentor high school students from Hempstead H.S. and Uniondale H.S, as well as college students from Farmingdale College and expose them to primary care medicine through the Envision Scholars Academy.

At the graduate medical education (GME) level, residents and fellows are represented on the GME Inclusion and Belonging Committee.
