In September 2021, we drafted a statement reiterating our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion:
The Institute of Medical Science Students' Association (IMSSA) is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment that promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion within our student organization and the IMS student body at large. This commitment extends to everyone regardless of race, ethnic group, nationality, socioeconomic status, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability, language, religious affiliation, or age.
