Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Purpose: To hold ourselves accountable to our mission and commitment to equity and anti-oppression the MGH Institute had developed a set of JEDI Core Competencies. As an organization we believe that these JEDI competencies are core to the success of our community in working to advance care in a diverse society. These competencies serve as guidance JEDI related growth for student, faculty,  staff and the broader IHP community.  

These JEDI Core Competencies provide a framework for groups and individuals to outline skills related to JEDI principles that are pertinent to settings within healthcare and higher education.
