Health Sciences Faculty Equity Advisors and Search Committee Trainings

Faculty Equity Advisors (FEAs) work collaboratively with Deans, Department Chairs, and search committees to ensure that equity and inclusion are considered in all aspects of faculty affairs, including recruitment, retention, and advancement. They provide implicit bias training for search committees, guidance on implementing inclusive practices, and other input as needed.

Health Sciences Faculty Search Committee Training

UC San Diego Health Sciences is committed to advancing equity and diversity by promoting best practices for faculty recruitment. It is mandatory for each faculty search committee for ladder rank positions to receive training from a Faculty Equity Advisor (FEA). All Health Sciences faculty serving on faculty search committees for ladder rank positions are required to complete training for inclusive hiring every three years. The goal of the training is to give faculty the tools to interrupt and address unconscious bias in every step of the recruitment process.

Health Sciences faculty may register on UC Learning to attend one of the monthly Health Sciences faculty search committee trainings starting in 2025. Find more information and registration links below.

Health Sciences faculty may also attend search committee trainings hosted by the VC-EDI Center for Faculty Diversity and Inclusion. More information may be found on their website.
