Improving equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within Canadian radiology is critical for optimal patient care and to reduce health disparities. Although there are increasing national EDI initiatives, there is a paucity of resources available to assist radiology departments as the culture of EDI evolves and faculty and institutions are expected to incorporate EDI in their practice. We present practical recommendations for radiology departments, radiology training programs, and individual radiologists wishing or mandated to improve EDI in the workplace. Actionable strategies for creating an environment that promotes EDI, attracting and supporting diverse trainees, and for how individual radiologists can be allies are presented. These EDI strategies are imperative to provide the best patient care and to strengthen the future of Canadian radiology.
提高加拿大放射学领域的公平性、多样性和包容性(EDI)对于提供最佳的患者护理和减少健康差距至关重要。尽管国家层面的 EDI 倡议不断增加,但在 EDI 文化不断发展的情况下,放射科部门以及教师和机构都需要将 EDI 纳入其实践中,相关资源却十分匮乏。我们为希望或被要求在工作场所改善 EDI 的放射科部门、放射科培训计划和个别放射科医生提供了实用的建议。我们还介绍了在工作场所营造促进 EDI 的环境、吸引和支持多元化学员的可操作策略,以及个别放射科医生如何成为盟友的策略。这些 EDI 策略对于提供最佳的患者护理和加强加拿大放射学的未来至关重要。
