Throughout training, residents will have opportunities and expectations to engage in clinical, didactic, research, teaching, and advocacy efforts to create a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable medical profession, health care system, and community. Diversity and Inclusion are core aspects of the Pediatrics, General Psychiatry, and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry programs on which the Triple Board Program is built, and Triple Board residents benefit from and contribute to those efforts. Within the longitudinal curriculum of Triple Board through avenues such as the monthly Triple Board Psychosocial Clinic, we continue to grow and strengthen our program-specific social justice curriculum as well. In addition to curricular efforts, individual program faculty and residents are active in the medical school’s Office of Belonging, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion as well as departmental and hospital diversity committees.

Diversity and Anti-Racism at Brown Psychiatry and Human Behavior
Brown University supports and leads many initiatives for people interested in aspects of diversity and inclusion. The Office of Diversity and Inclusion serves as a critical leader and resource in support of Brown University’s efforts to foster a strong academic community through initiatives that aim to help all faculty, students and staff thrive, feel welcome, and participate fully in the life of the University.
Below are several specific initiatives of the Division of Biology and Medicine's Office of Belonging, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (OBEDI):
Brown Minority Housestaff Association (BMHA)
The Brown Minority Housestaff Association (BMHA) became a recognized housestaff organization in 2013. BMHA is advised through faculty, the GME Department and the Office of Belonging, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (OBEDI). The BMHA is an organization that strives to promote a diverse housestaff through community building, mentorship, networking, and advocacy. The strength of a diverse workforce more effectively meets the needs of the diverse population of patients we serve.
Brown Council for Diversity in Medicine (BCDM)
The goals of the Council are to provide a forum to identify current diversity and inclusion activities within each clinical department; share these activities and ideas so that we may all learn from them; eliminate barriers to diversity and inclusion; educate and empower committee members to be able to evoke change within their departments; create a centralized knowledge base about the status of diversity and inclusion activities within each department; and create a unified vision of what diversity and inclusion looks like at Brown.
Committee on Diversity and Inclusive Teaching and Learning
Formerly the Race in Medicine Taskforce, this committee is made up of students, staff, and faculty and is charged with implementing a coherent and inclusive curriculum at The Warren Alpert Medical School.
OBEDI Diversity and Inclusion Fellow
The OBEDI Fellowship is a one-year funded position. The fellow is a Brown medical student who works to develop skills in leadership, collaboration, and program development through the creation of initiatives that address the mission of the OBEDI and the priority areas of Brown's Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP).
Petersen Educational Enhancement Fund
The Petersen Educational Enhancement Fund supports innovative service or research initiatives designed to have a positive impact on individuals, families, and communities. The Fund encourages students to undertake projects in the United States or abroad that not only will foster their own development and enrich their educational experience but, just as importantly, will enable them to give back to the community at large.
