AdventHealth Florida as an institution and Orlando as a city have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion and has been at the forefront of promoting diversity and fighting for social justice in many respects. Our Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship program has strong commitment to diversity at all levels. Diversity and inclusion to us means not only considering race/ethnicity/gender and underrepresented groups in medicine and cardiology but also an individual's background and the distance traveled, or hardships traversed when applying to our program. We understand that a workforce of physicians who better understand the culture and customs of patients from all walks of life has a positive impact on patient care, education, and research. The AdventHealth system has a non-discriminatory and diverse approach to recruiting staff and the same criteria is applied to the fellowship program.
