Community Health & Inclusive Excellence For Faculty

Drexel University College of Medicine employs over 700 faculty members. Through varied career and life experiences, each member of our faculty brings a unique perspective to the world of medicine that enriches the scholarly work of students and their colleagues.

The College of Medicine provides a culture of inclusion that celebrates and embraces all of our people. We encourage faculty members to take advantage of Drexel University's many support groups.

It's our hope that by sharing their experiences, our faculty will serve as role models and mentors to students with similar backgrounds. We've found that supportive relationships between faculty and students can strengthen cultural identity and enhances collaboration with other physicians and researchers from different backgrounds.
