Although the U.S. population continues to become more diverse, black, Hispanic, and Native American doctors remain underrepresented in emergency medicine (EM). The benefits of a diverse medical workforce have been well described, but the percentage of EM residents from underrepresented groups is small and has not significantly increased over the past 20 years. A group of experts in the field of diversity and inclusion convened a work group during the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Program Directors (CORD) and Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) national meetings. The objective of the discussion was to develop strategies to help EM residency programs examine and improve racial and ethnic diversity in their institutions. Specific recommendations included strategies to recruit racially and ethnically diverse residency candidates and strategies to mentor, develop, retain, and promote minority faculty.
尽管美国人口日益多样化,但黑人、西班牙裔和美国原住民医生在急诊医学(EM)领域的代表性仍然不足。多元化医疗劳动力的益处已得到充分描述,但来自代表性不足群体的急诊医学住院医师比例很小,且在过去20年中并未显著增加。一群多元化与包容领域的专家在急诊医学住院医师项目主任委员会(CORD)和学术急诊医学协会(SAEM)的全国会议期间召集了一个工作组。讨论的目的是制定策略,以帮助急诊医学住院医师项目审查并改善其机构中的种族和民族多样性。具体建议包括招募种族和民族多元化的住院医师候选人的策略,以及指导、培养、留住和晋升少数族裔教员的策略。
