Health disparities persist among minoritized populations. A diverse clinician workforce may help address these disparities and improve patient outcomes; however, diversity in the critical are workforce (particularly among women and those historically underrepresented in medicine (URiM)) is lacking. This review describes factors contributing to low respresentation of women and URiM in critical care medicine, and proposes strategies to overcome those barriers.
少数族裔人群中仍然存在健康差距。多样化的临床医生队伍可能有助于解决这些差距并改善患者的预后;然而,在重症医学领域(特别是在女性和医学领域中历来代表性不足的人群(URiM)中),多样性仍然缺乏。本文综述了导致女性和 URiM 在重症医学中代表性不足的因素,并提出了克服这些障碍的策略。
