Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Efforts at a Departmental Level: Building a Committee as a Vehicle for Advancing Progress
Academic Health Centers (AHCs) across the nation are experiencing a reawakening to the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Such work impacts both employees and patients served by healthcare institutions.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Clinical Research: A Path Toward Precision Health for Everyone
Healthcare disparities are a persistent societal problem. One of the contributing factors to this status quo is the lack of diversity and representativeness of research efforts, which result in nongeneralizable evidence that, in turn, provides suboptimal means to enable the best possible outcomes at the individual level. There are several strategies that research teams can adopt to improve the diversity,

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION POLICIES: ARE ORGANIZATIONS TRULY COMMITTED TO A WORKPLACE CULTURE SHIFT?
This paper proceeds from the premise that true change can only be realized after first coming to terms with harsh realities. The murder of George Floyd in 2020 sent shock waves throughout our collective conscience resulting in a racial reckoning unlike any other in modern history. Calls for change throughout Corporate America had organizations pledging millions of dollars toward the

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion That Matter
My pending exodus from academic medicine after 15 years is prompted by my belief that the institutional and systemic racism so obvious to me would never be fully acknowledged, much less addressed. This belief was formed after several experiences that left me — a Black woman — feeling stifled, unheard, unvalidated, unsupported, and concerned for my health.1 Too often, academic

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Is It Just Another Catchphrase?
Writing about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and not reiterating the same slogans about health care disparities, implicit bias, White privilege, or “Black Lives Matter,” over and over is painfully difficult.

Drawing on social role and token theory, we test the relative impact of CEO gender and the gender composition of the board

Does Chair of Surgery Gender Influence Divisional or Residency Program Director Gender Diversity?
Background: Workplace diversity is beneficial and results in new ideas and improved performance. Within surgery leadership, the gender gap is improving, but still present.

Does women’s board representation affect non-managerial gender inequality?
Research examining gender and corporate boards has explored how women’s representation impacts firm strategy and policy, particularly around corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues related to communities and other relevant stakeholders, the environment, and diversity and equity initiatives. However, fewer studies have examined how women’s representation on boards affects gender inequality in firms. The studies that have been conducted generally focus
