Faculty & Staff Demographics
The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion supports people of every identity, reporting on the demographic categories of faculty and staff defined by the Association of American Medical Colleges due to underrepresentation in medicine.
Beyond these categories, Dell Medical School defines diversity broadly, to include all facets by which individuals identify themselves.
As of June 2020 ...
Faculty Demographics
On average, women are better represented in Dell Med’s faculty than they are at other U.S. medical schools. Here, 105 faculty members are women and 126 are men — 46% and 54%, respectively. In 2019, women comprised 42% and men comprised 58% of medical school faculty in the United States.
Though the percentage of female faculty members has increased since 2018, Dell Med recognizes that a disparity remains, and we are committed to continuing to work to close the gender gap in medicine.
Race & Ethnicity
At Dell Med, 65% of faculty members are White. The percentages of faculty members who are Asian, Black or Hispanic/Latinx have increased since 2018:
- 19% of faculty members are Asian, compared to 11% in 2018;
- 5% of faculty members are Black, compared to 3% in 2018; and
- 9% of faculty members are Hispanic/Latinx, compared to 7% in 2018.
Additionally, the percentages of Black and Hispanic/Latinx faculty members at Dell Med are higher than the percentages of those groups at medical schools across the U.S. (2019).
