Diversity and Inclusion in Cardiology Education (DICE)

APUF Funded in 2022

DICE is a mentorship group, lead by cardiology-residents, with a mission to introduce undergraduate and medical students from traditionally underrepresented groups, particularly among learners who identify as Black or Indigenous, to the field of cardiology.
 

DICE presents sessions and events in partnership with other programs within the University of Toronto, including the Summer Mentorship Program (SMP); Community of Support (COS); Diversity Mentorship Program (DMP); Black Medical Students’ Association (BMSA); and the Office of Indigenous Medical Education.
