MUSC is committed to providing culturally competent care and ensuring that organizational priorities and goals about equity, inclusion, and excellence are institutionalized, sustained, and measured to “create an inclusive experience for the lives we touch.” Every college has a designated faculty liaison for diversity, and all leaders must complete diversity education and training to combat unconscious bias annually. All new employee orientations include an introduction to MUSC’s diversity goals and values. The organization has also designated MUSC a Diversity Champion for three consecutive years (2018- 2020). MUSC was among 46 recipients selected in 2020 for this honor, the only national diversity award in higher education.
