We seek, acknowledge, and celebrate diversity at the University because our faith inspires and compels us to do so.

Anti-Racism Statement
Queen's University College of Medicine stands in solidarity with the religious and International community against racism and hate in all forms. We recognize that systemic racism manifests not only in the physical violence we see in the media, but the ongoing violence of denying marginalized and oppressed communities’ equity in health care, housing, employment, education, environmental quality, and other resources needed to live full and healthy lives. Systemic racism drives racial inequities that impact every aspect of health, be it the acute catastrophe of COVID-19, violence, or deaths from all the common chronic diseases. We demonstrate our commitments to anti-racism in our work as educators of medicine. We teach, speak, and act in the service of expanding equity, access, and cooperation. It is our mission to teach by example to all our students on being compassionate, fair, and understanding to all people no matter nationality, race, culture, religion, sexual orientation, or social status.
