\u201cI am very excited Dr. White is taking on this important role at Geisel,\u201d Compton says. \u201cShe has broad perspective on how to advance initiatives that support diversity in the Geisel community.\"<\/p>\n

Overseeing the medical school\u2019s Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement<\/a>, White works closely with Geisel senior leadership, including Henderson, and with Dartmouth\u2019s director of Institutional Diversity and Equity as well as the leadership of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (D-H), the White River Junction Veteran Affairs Medical Center, and Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies to build a diverse and inclusive community of students, residents, postdocs, staff, and faculty.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving worked very closely with her over the past three years, I cannot think of a better person for this position\u2014I am extremely pleased that Stephanie has been chosen as Geisel\u2019s new Associate Dean for Diversity and Inclusion,\u201d Henderson says. \u201cShe has tremendous ideas that are fully grounded in an understanding of how to successfully implement plans within a complex set of institutional structures, she has wonderful rapport with the medical school\u2019s community, and has the insight and drive to build bridges with our clinical and academic partners across Dartmouth, D-H and the VA. Welcome Steph!\u201d<\/p>\n

A pediatrician, White joined Geisel as an assistant professor of pediatrics in 2015 and has been deeply involved in Geisel\u2019s diversity related initiatives. She says diversity and inclusion work, \u201ccompels collaborations, constantly requires learning and reflection of our own biases, and ultimately allows those of us in the field to remember why we do this work\u2014to create equitable and respectful work environments that allows for innovation, the opportunity to advance science, and the possibility to change the mindsets of generations of physicians who will go on to care for millions and ameliorate our most challenging health disparities.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has written for the Dartmouth Public Voices Fellowship Op-Ed project, which gives a public voice to the ideas of underrepresented thinkers to shape important national conversations. Her Op-Ed about pediatrics and race has been widely shared on Twitter, including retweet by AMA Medical Ethics, inclusion in a weekly email from the American Academy of Pediatrics, and discussed at the AAP National Conference and the national AAMC conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis position really is the dream job I envisioned while in medical school at the University of Pittsburgh,\u201d White says. \u201cAnd I now have the privilege of collaborating with leaders in the field of medical education and diversity and inclusion. I look forward to building upon Geisel and Dartmouth\u2019s commitment to diversity\u2014threading the pieces together and working with colleagues to share our successes with other institutions and the broader Geisel community.\u201d<\/p>\n
