Diversity and inclusion at Advocate Children's Hospital - Oak Lawn

Hey there! Attention all rising Under-Represented 4th-year med students who love the kids! We are offering multiple $2,500 scholarships for visiting senior medical students at Advocate Children’s Hospital in the Chicagoland area pursuing a career in Pediatrics. Deadline (May 1st!) is fast approaching with scholarships being offered on a rolling basis. For more details, visit the pediatric residency programs and fellowships page.

The Mission & Spiritual Care and Diversity & Inclusion departments work together to help implement a system-wide effort to celebrate the rich diversity of faiths and cultures of our team members, patients and their families. Cultural and spiritual holidays from a variety of religions and backgrounds are promoted throughout Advocate Health to boost awareness and education.

The Learning & Development team deployed a new learning tool titled CultureVision, which educates and assists the medical group and other team members in their journey to learn more about our patients’ faiths and cultures. CultureVision serves as a real-time resource that provides supplemental information about religious customs, dietary needs, accommodation requests and other cultural practices that impact how a patient chooses to receive care.
