Deep Cuts: Exploring Equity in Surgery

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the University of Chicago Department of Surgery

The University of Chicago Department of Surgery Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Steering Committee is committed to addressing and eliminating discrimination in all forms within our department through continuous self-assessment, targeted programming, advocacy, and creation of an increasingly diverse and culturally competent workforce by embedding diversity and inclusion as an integral component of surgical excellence.

In doing so, we aim to remove barriers to healthcare access, to provide the best care for our community, and to create an optimal and equitable environment to work, conduct research, and train.

Welcome to Deep Cuts: Exploring Equity in Surgery

What are the conversations happening in and outside of the operating room around health equity that matter to patients?

Bringing these conversations to a larger audience outside the operating room, Deep Cuts is the newest podcast from The University of Chicago Department of Surgery exploring why diversity, equity, and inclusion matter in surgery, and how these topics impact the patients and community served on the South Side of Chicago.

Deep Cuts was started in 2021 by a first-year medical student and a general surgery resident physician at the University of Chicago and continues to explore hot topics in equity in surgery.
