Data Collection
PHASE 1
-
The Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry (FoMD) conducted avoluntary survey in the second half of 2017 to measure the diversity of academic faculty, clinical faculty and support staff within the FoMD, a first-ever effort at the University of Alberta as a Faculty.
-
Benchmarking of Human Resource Services survey results gave the Faculty a better picture of where we stand in comparison to larger population statistics, collecting information from the University of Alberta and Statistics Canada.
-
Asking important questions from data: Are we diverse? If we are diverse, how similar is our faculty's population to the general public that we serve? Where are the gaps? These questions informed the following steps to provide a safe, diverse and equitable space in our Faculty.
