Nancy DeSousa

Nancy DeSousa Assistant Director

Dr. Nancy DeSousa is an Assistant Director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, Learner Diversity Programs for Graduate Medical Education for Emory School of Medicine. In this role, she creates and supports Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programming and initiatives for residents and fellows. This includes, but is not limited to, creating pipeline programming for underrepresented in medicine learners, supporting and advising GME trainees through GME-level and program-level affinity groups and DEI committees, creating cultural and educational events related to DEI for trainees and academic departments, providing implicit bias and other types of training to GME trainees and their program leadership and evaluating, assessing, and assisting with recruitment and retention activities and curricular development for residency and fellowship programs.

With over 20 years of public health research and community engagement experience, mostly in the field of HIV prevention, Dr. DeSousa’s professional interests align with her commitment to social justice. These include exploring intersections of race, socioeconomic status, sexuality and gender and the effects on mental health and health behaviors and examining the social determinants of health and health inequities.

Dr. DeSousa earned her Doctorate in Behavioral Sciences and Health Education, a department of the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, her Master’s in Public Health from the Gillings School of Global Public Health, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and her Bachelor’s degree in Ethnic Studies from Brown University.
