DICE Board

The Department of Psychiatry’s Diversity, Inclusion, Culture, and Equity Board (DICE Board) consists of nominated representatives from the Department of Psychiatry who meet twice per month to discuss and create opportunities for enhancing diversity and inclusion regarding departmental needs for:

  • Promoting a culture of respect
  • Building a healthy work environment for all department employees
  • Providing culturally relevant care and training

The focus of this Board will primarily be on the identification and promotion of targeted (per division/program needs): Education, Training, Collaboration, Practice Integration, Policy and practice improvement, and Identifying ongoing professional development & training needs. 

DICE Board members will be nominated by their Divisional Leaders and Peers and serve for two years. Members will need to have one to three hours of protected time per month to attend DICE Board meetings and to attend to follow-up activities within their division. Members will be responsible for hosting meetings at their site and include arranging for Zoom capability.
