Mission Statement

To promote an environment of diversity, equity and inclusivity (DEI) among our faculty, trainees and staff through education, training and mentorship.

To advocate for the underrepresented and underserved communities through all aspects of our clinical services, education and training, outreach and engagement, research and scholarship and professional development.

To make the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health a leader on campus, in our community and nationwide in respect and equity for all people, beliefs, needs and cultural traditions, in accordance with The Ohio State University and the College of Medicine’s Strategic Plan and Mission. Excellence is reached when we create an environment of inclusivity, equal opportunity and accessibility in which people from a multitude of backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and viewpoints collaborate, facilitate belonging and decrease bias and stigma.
