As part of the Faculty of Medicine’s commitment to equity and inclusion, clinical faculty are invited to participate in the new Faculty of Medicine Clinical Faculty Equity Survey.
As a clinical faculty member, you play a crucial role in shaping the future of our working and learning environments, and we greatly value your time and feedback as we work to identify areas where we excel and areas where we can improve.
By completing this confidential, three-minute survey via UBC Qualtrics, you will help the Faculty to better understand the diversity of the clinical faculty community, and to provide community-level data for evidence-based decision making on equity and inclusion in the working and learning environments, now and in the years ahead. Your responses are completely confidential — no individually identifiable data will be shared with leadership, management or human resources.
All clinical faculty will be sent an invitation via their email recorded in Workday with a personalized link to the survey in UBC Qualtrics. The survey closes on June 30, 2024.
