Multiculturalism is the search for recognition of the richness gained by an appreciation of our differences, as well as our similiarities. We believe that the best research and medical care occurs in a context where differences are highly valued.

"Diversity in our programs is not a question of fairness but a question of quality: the quality of our educational programs and the quality of care in our medical community."

-Joseph B. Martin, M.D., Ph.D., Harvard Medical School Dean of the Faculty of Medicine
