Welcome to the University of Massachusetts Medical School's
Diversity and Equal Opportunity Office (DEOO)

The Medical School is a community who embraces diversity in all its forms. We are an organization committed to national distinction in education research and service. Diversity and inclusion are two of the essential ingredients of national distinction.  To that end, we strive to reflect the global village and to support an intellectual environment that values individuals with different ideas, thoughts, experiences, backgrounds and more.  In addition, we commit to an environment that is civil, respectful, fair, accessible, safe and nurturing.

The DEOO coordinates and/or provides oversight for programs of inclusion, diversity and compliance trainings, the ADA, affirmative action and equal opportunity. We mediate and resolve conflicts related to uncivil behavior, harassment and discrimination. We also support the Chancellor’s two standing committees: the Women’s Faculty Committee and the Council on Equal Opportunity and Diversity.

Through the DEOO, a number of resources and services are available to support you in your learning and work endeavors. If you do not find the information that you need on these pages, please do not hesitate to contact us at:
