Albany Medical College defines diversity in the broadest sense, meaning the inclusion of all persons regardless of ethnic and racial background, socioeconomic background, geographic (urban and rural), gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, age, physical disabilities and other personal attributes, that can contribute to a welcoming, inclusive culture across the Medical College and Medical Center. Understanding and recognizing that disparities exist in society today and can be clearly documented in health care, the College looks to develop and educate future physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Anesthetists and scientists to be able to practice medicine and sustain translational science in a way that supports the health care needs of all people. To successfully achieve this goal, Albany Medical College and Medical Center should serve as the role model that helps to shape the knowledge, skills, behaviors and attitudes of its graduates, faculty and staff.
