Pitt Pediatrics congratulates Diego Chaves-Gnecco, MD, MPH, FAAP for receiving the 2022 Provost’s Award for Diversity in the Curriculum. 
This award is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the University Center for Teaching and Learning to showcase excellence in creating a learning environment for our students that recognizes diversity and is inclusive of all.
Chaves-Gnecco is being recognized for “designing the course for third- and fourth-year medical students to have a rotation at Salud Para Niños. Students attend the free pediatric weekly clinics where medical students and residents (who also have an opportunity to have Salud Para Niños serve as their continuity clinic) see, on average, seven (mostly Latinx and uninsured) per clinic. They provide healthcare while learning about barriers to and disparities in healthcare, how to address them, and how to enhance their knowledge about culturally humble and linguistically sensitive healthcare.”
This award will be presented at the lunchtime award ceremony on Tuesday, January 24 at 12pm by Provost Ann Cudd.
