Roy Hamilton, MD, Associate Professor of Neurology and a researcher and clinician at the Penn Memory Center, has been named to the newly created faculty Council on Diversity and Inclusion at the Perelman School of Medicine.

Starting July 1 the Council will work closely with the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid and the Office of Student Affairs to promote and strengthen diversity and inclusion efforts at the Perelman School of Medicine. The restructuring of the diversity and inclusion activities will allow for expanded community-based training sites for students, additional opportunities for student outreach to underserved populations, and further support for diversity recruitment.

Dr. Hamilton will join Dr. Horace Delisser, Dr. Iris Reyes, and Dr. Benoit Dube on the Council to provide new resources in order to strengthen current successful programs while designing and implementing new initiatives for diversity and inclusion at the Perelman School of Medicine.
