About Moments to Movement
The Duke University School of Medicine is committed to dismantling racism and to better understanding the root causes, harms, and strategies to reduce racial inequity. This commitment, known as Moments to Movement, started in 2020 and extends within our institutional walls, our surrounding community, and our nation.
In June 2021, the School of Medicine began implementation of its Moments to Movement strategic plan, “Dismantling Racism and Advancing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the School of Medicine.”
This plan—the culmination of the work of hundreds of faculty, staff, postdoctoral fellows, trainees and students across the School—identifies a broad range of strategies we’ll deploy over the next five years with immediate action items we’ll hold ourselves accountable for as we advance our goals. The plan serves as a “living” document that will evolve to meet a changing landscape.

"I can think of nothing more important at the moment to acknowledge and take essential steps to dismantle any structural racism within our institution. When we do that, we can become powerful, credible, champions of change outside our roles at Duke." - Dean Mary Klotman, MD
