WUSM Psychiatry Diversity Advisors

A Diversity Advisor serves as a member of faculty and staff hiring committees and ensures that best practices in diversity, equity, and inclusion are utilized throughout the hiring process.

• The WUSM Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion provided the framework for the program and our team has personalized it for our department.
• Once a hiring manager submits a job requisition, they can be connected with a Diversity Advisor for assistance in utilizing best DEI practices in hiring.

There are a handful of ways a Diversity Advisor can assist through the hiring process:

• Review and edit job summaries to reflect equitable and inclusive language.
• Suggest websites and forums that a hiring manager can post their open position to expand the applicant pool.
• Help sift through applications and resumes, looking at them from a DEI standpoint.
• Provide DEI questions for interviews.
