Dr. Amita Modi

By dcc2012 | February 15, 2022

Year 4 Clerkship Director, Island Medical Program
Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Family Practice
Why is breaking bias and valuing differences so important in 2022?

I have the privilege of working with a diverse group of talented, creative and inspirational faculty, staff and students. International Women’s Day offers opportunities for reflection and conversations on how we can promote equity, awareness of bias and affect positive change. While progress has been made to extend boundaries, much work remains. We must continue to draw attention to marginalized perspectives.

I am so grateful for the mentorship I have received through my training and career from exceptional women in the Faculty of Medicine. They not only embrace and encourage diverse perspectives and uniqueness but also emulate these principles in their work every day. I am inspired by these individuals and strive to model these values as I mentor students. My wish is that learners will feel empowered to bring these values to their work in patient care and their respective communities moving forward, with a sense of responsibility and compassion.
