Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in your medical practice starts with YOU.

The willingness and courage to have uncomfortable conversations so that your clinic stands on ethical ground starts with doing your own internal work. To sort thru your own programming and call yourself out to become a better human and practitioner is the first step to building a safe and inclusive clinic and becoming aware of how much hidden bias affects healthcare and treatment outcomes.

I don’t think any of us would ever intentionally do something in clinic or elsewhere that would diminish another person, but bias in healthcare is a very big detriment.

I was very uncomfortable in this interview, and with good reason! I was ignorant. I was hiking into unknown territory with a moral compass, but no map. I am really grateful to have had such a generous and kind tour guide in Kiki to start my journey.

Kiki Toth, Product and DEI Specialist at Jane

Hi! My name is Kiki and I'm a Product and DEI Specialist here at Jane. I've worked in a few areas at Jane since starting in March 2020, including Support helping out our customers and as a Learning and Development Associate guiding our newbies through the beginning of their journey here at Jane. Throughout all of my work, DEI has been one of the most passionate aspects of my role. I hope to inspire others to actively work on creating an inclusive and equitable work environment for everyone. We all walk through the door with our own story and my purpose is to highlight these stories and empower marginalized communities.
