Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Discrimination
Mission
- Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism, Anti-Sexism, Anti-Gender Identity (IDEA). Our mission is to create, preserve, teach, and apply knowledge in the service of humanity in the area of critical care.
- The ECCC IDEA group is open to all who meet its high standards of academic excellence and integrity. The ECCC welcomes a diversity of ethnic, cultural, socioeconomic, religious, national, and international backgrounds, believing that the intellectual and social energy that results from such diversity is critical to advancing knowledge, research, mentorship, promotion and the provision of care to the critical care community.
- ECCC IDEA group strives to create a community characterized by respectful and mutually supportive interaction among faculty, students, staff, and the wider world.
