Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) lie at the center of excellent patient care and safety. The way we interact with our pediatric patients and families and develop and discuss treatment plans should all be done under the lens of DEIJ. The foundation of DEIJ begins in medical school and is further honed during general pediatric residency training by ensuring residents are exposed to diverse patient populations. During fellowship training, the focus is shifted to research and scholarly activities for that same population. There is a vast catalog of curricula on DEIJ education for medical schools, some exist for general pediatric residency programs, but there is a lack of such curricula for subspecialty pediatric fellowship programs. In this article, we will address the state of DEIJ education in pediatric fellowship education, make a case for the importance of DEIJ education in pediatric fellowship programs, and provide recommendations to address the gap to include a holistic approach that involves holding departments, program leaders, and individuals accountable for continued medical education. .
多样性、公平性、包容性和公正性(DEIJ)是卓越的患者护理和安全的核心。我们与儿科患者及其家属互动的方式,以及制定和讨论治疗计划的方式,都应该在 DEIJ 的视角下进行。DEIJ 的基础始于医学院,并且在普通儿科住院医师培训期间通过确保住院医师接触到多样化的患者群体得到进一步加强。在奖学金培训期间,重点转移到针对同一人群的研究和学术活动上。有大量关于医学院 DEIJ 教育的课程,有些课程针对普通儿科住院医师培训计划,但针对儿科专科奖学金计划的课程却缺乏。在本文中,我们将讨论儿科奖学金教育中 DEIJ 教育的现状,说明在儿科奖学金计划中进行 DEIJ 教育的重要性,并提出建议来解决这一差距,包括采取整体方法,使部门、项目负责人和个人对继续教育负责。
