Justice Equity Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI)
Eraka Bath, M.D., is the Vice Chair for Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute in the David Geffen School of Medicine.
The principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) define the vision and values of the faculty within the academic unit comprised of UCLA Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, the Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neurosciences and Human Behavior and the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. We recognize that diversity and excellence are inextricably tied. An explicit anti-racist, social justice and structural competency framework highlights our mandate to pursue excellence in education and training and perform impactful clinical research and practice that enhances the lives of all people within our diverse local and global communities. We vow to work with cultural humility and be accountable for greater equity amongst historically underrepresented peoples and increased generalizability of scientific findings and their pragmatic translation from laboratory to community at all levels of analysis.
