Shuko Harada, M.D., Vice Chair for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for the Department of Pathology, has been named to the Association of Pathology Chairs DEI Faculty Leaders Network.

The Association of Pathology Chairs is a non-profit society serving academic departments of pathology in the U.S. and Canada. The network was formed to unite the designated DEI representatives from the nation’s academic pathology departments, with the purpose of developing and providing shared educational resources.

“Being a part of this Leaders Network is very exciting, as we will have opportunities to share our experiences across departments,” Harada says. “Because pathology is one of the most diverse specialties in medicine, it is important to promote an inclusive and respectful environment together.”

Harada was appointed as the Inaugural Vice Chair for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion on October 1, 2021. In her role she leads the department’s Diversity Task Force.

“Our first virtual meeting will be scheduled in March, and I am hoping to connect with DEI leadership from other institutions and share information,” Harada says.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Harada on her addition to the Association of Pathology Chairs DEI Faculty Leaders Network.
