There is a critical need for increasing the diversity representation among clinicians and researchers in academic medicine, including departments of psychiatry and psychology. Mentorship of under-represented groups has been identified as an important way to remediate diversity-related barriers in the field. This paper outlines the early development and pilot implementation of a diversity mentorship program at Brown University. In an effort to inform and guide future diversity programs, we discuss the challenges faced in creating the program, the successes experienced during the first year, and the future directions undertaken as a means for improving the program.
迫切需要增加学术医学领域（包括精神病学和心理学系）临床医生和研究人员的多元化代表性。为代表性不足的群体提供指导已被视为消除该领域与多元化相关障碍的重要途径。本文概述了布朗大学多元化指导计划的早期发展和试点实施情况。为了为未来的多元化计划提供信息和指导，我们讨论了创建该计划时面临的挑战、第一年取得的成功以及为改进该计划而采取的未来方向。
