2024 CSM Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) Award - nominations now closed
The Cumming School of Medicine (CSM) values equity, diversity and inclusive excellence in our health care, research, and medical education.
The CSM EDIA Award recognizes the outstanding achievements of individuals and teams for the efforts they invest in creating an equitable, diverse, inclusive culture at CSM, and/or within their community of practice.
Nominees include CSM faculty members, learners, staff, postdoctoral scholars, and work units. Nominations highlight a practice, event, educational resources, theoretical or applied research, policy, program, or other activities that foster equitable and impactful change for those who traditionally have been under-represented in medicine and health sciences, including women, persons from racialized communities, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, persons with diverse abilities, and persons from 2SLGBTQ+ communities. The winning nominations are awarded $1500, supported by a generous philanthropic donation by the Helios Group and matched by the Cumming School of Medicine.
2024 Nominations are now closed! The CSM EDIA Award will be formally awarded at a CSM-wide recognition event in 2025 and through PESJO's communication channels.
Watch this space in fall of 2025 when nominations open again.
