The New Frontier: DEI Positions in Academic Emergency Medicine

Apr 12, 2021

As new diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions are created within departments and institutions within academic emergency medicine, guidance is needed with respect to needs assessment, the creation of DEI roles and associated expectations/ responsibilities, the role of DEI roles in the curriculum of our trainees, barriers to making an impact on diversity of our workforce, and other challenges common to these positions. During this interactive session, panelists will address these areas of need, and the session will include recommended practices and solutions around optimal use of DEI positions to address lack of diversity and racism in the emergency medicine workforce.
