Diversity and inclusivity are inextricably linked with excellence in every dimension of Columbia University Irving Medical Center's work. A diverse faculty facilitates culturally competent medical education and clinical care and also brings important and different perspectives to the research agenda.

In this audio interview, Taylor speaks with Katrina Armstrong, MD, chief executive officer of Columbia University Irving Medical Center and dean of the Faculties of Health Sciences and the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, about CUIMC's efforts to create a more diverse and inclusive environment.
