Hear From Our Team
NYU Langone provides limitless professional experience. I am not boxed in by my job title and am offered numerous hands-on opportunities that expose me to various aspects of hospital operations. The community that NYU Langone serves is as diverse as the community of employees that work here, and it feels great to know that such a big part of my identity is nurtured, valued, and respected.
Kimberley C.
Administrative Support Supervisor
I was instantly attracted to the culture at NYU Langone Health. I love the fast-paced environment and how there are so many opportunities for career growth. We are constantly expanding, which helps me learn new things and meet new and interesting people with diverse backgrounds.
Ariana C.
Associate Director,
FGP Professional Billing Operations
I wanted to become a medical assistant because I fell in love with the medical field and wanted to be a closer part of patient care. During the NYU Langone Health Medical Assistant Program, my favorite experience was doing an externship with my colleagues at Huntington Medical Group. I felt like I was learning from the best, and I appreciated the time spent helping me understand the job. Plus, with good company, it's easy to make the job even more enjoyable!

Were all a part of the same big system and have a role to play, no matter how behind the scenes it might be. We're all here to help save lives and work together for the greater good. The camaraderie shown among the team made me sure that this was where I wanted to learn and grow.

Recruitment Practices
Everyone Is Welcome
At NYU Langone, we are committed to increasing diversity recruitment and retention at every level. To ensure we have the right skills to achieve our diversity recruitment aims, we require all new Talent Acquisition staff to complete the following SHRM programs: Employing Abilities at Work Certificate and Veterans at Work Certificate. We also have a diversity talent pipeline that is concerned with how Human Resources can strategically influence the hiring and development of underrepresented groups at managerial/leadership levels. In addition, we regularly attend Diversity job fairs and events both in-person and virtually.
Our Positive Culture and Work Environment
We have a B.READI approach to culture. This positive employee experience requires that we B.READI (Belonging, Respect, Equity, Accessibility, Diversity and Inclusion) to:
- Have a positive work and learning environment
- Interact civilly and respectfully with each other, respecting each other’s identities, roles, experiences, and contribution
- Have leaders who build a culture that motivates team members

Employee Resource Groups
Together, We Can
Learn and Grow

Partnerships
Expanding Our Diversity Recruitment Reach
We have expanded and enhanced our diversity recruitment efforts by partnering with local and national organizations that work with underserved groups, cater to the needs of specific groups, or work with students preparing for the workforce. Our partnerships include working with the Rusk Rehabilitation Vocational Rehab Center, The Grace Institute, the YWCA Lead Program in Brooklyn, and the Chinatown Manpower Project. These organizations understand the importance of workforce diversity and have helped us attract talent from untapped areas. We also post jobs on HBCU Connect, the largest network of students and alumni from Historically Black Colleges & Universities, and regularly work with the HBCU Awareness project.
