The Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine Outlist consists of students, faculty, and staff who identify as LGBTQ+.
We envision the KPSOM Outlist as a tool to develop community amongst those who identify as LGBTQ+, and bring visibility to the LGBTQ+ members of our school’s community. We would like for the Outlist to generate connections, foster mentorship conversations, and celebrate the many LGBTQ+ contributors at our school.
Our Commitment
“Our school was founded on a deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and diversity, and illuminating the lived experiences of the LGBTQ+ community represents one facet of this commitment. I’m proud that our school is giving us a platform to connect with others, to celebrate pride in one’s story, and to envision an even brighter future for LGBTQ+ individuals in healthcare.”
Mark A. Schuster, MD, PhD, Founding Dean and CEO Emeritus
If you are interested in having your name and/or contact information on the Outlist, please fill out the form here (please note that KPSOM login credentials are required). We understand that there are many barriers that prevent individuals from safely coming out—with this in mind, there is no requirement to participate.
Yours in Pride,
KPSOM MedPride and LGBTQ+ Staff and Faculty Affinity Group
