Did you know that Geisinger has created several groups called ERGs (Employee Resource Groups) as part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion?
ERGs are formed around common identities but are open to all employees. They provide opportunities to build internal and external networks and further develop professionally.

For me, diversity in medicine is not just accepting people from different cultures, but genuinely CELEBRATING all that makes us unique. It is about lifting each other up to the same leveled playing field and allowing everyone's talents and abilities to grow, develop, and flourish. It is only in this way that we can all truly shine in out contributions to the field of medicine and make it great!

One of the most rewarding aspects of joining the Geisinger family is the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues from various cultural backgrounds. Our medical community is really a microcosm of our larger society. I appreciate the wonderful opportunities to learn and grow daily by embracing the diversity and unique contributions of others within our organization.

Assistant Regional Dean of Student Affairs, GSCOM
Professionalism is different from what I was taught it was. It was centered around the idea that I needed to dress, talk, or act in a way that denied my cultural diversity or personal identity. Embrace what makes you unique. That is what is going to allow you to care for people who may not otherwise see that kind of representation.

Keep an open mind when evaluating residency programs and make decisions based on criteria of importance to you. Do not let well-intentioned advice steer you away from the "right fit." You will be most successful in an environment where you feel comfortable working and living.
