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 2018 ...
Faculty Demographics
On average, women are better represented in Dell Med’s faculty than they are at other U.S. medical schools. Here, 55 faculty members are women and 70 are men — 44 and 56 percent, respectively. In 2017, women comprised 41 percent and men 59 percent of medical school faculty in America.
Dell Med recognizes that a disparity remains, and that representation is not equal across all departments. We are committed to continuing to work to close the gender gap in medicine.
Race / Ethnicity
Seventy-eight percent of Dell Med’s faculty is white, compared with a national average of 64 percent at all medical schools (2016). Our goal is to achieve a racial and ethnic representation in faculty that aligns with the population of Travis County, where Austin is the seat.
