Veterinary medicine is one of the least diverse professions in terms of race and ethnicity. Inclusive mentorship has the potential to increase representation and retention of BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) individuals and individuals with other marginalized identities in the field. Inclusive mentorship benefits not only the mentors and mentees but also the veterinary profession and the communities we serve. It is critical to incorporate inclusion principles throughout the mentoring relationship, starting with creating an inclusive environment and considering inclusion in program design and mentor training. Inclusion is an ongoing process that requires dedication and maintenance.
兽医学是种族和民族多样性最低的职业之一。包容性指导有可能增加 BIPOC（黑人、原住民和有色人种）和其他边缘化群体在该领域的代表性和留用率。包容性指导不仅有益于导师和学员，而且有益于兽医行业和我们服务的社区。至关重要的是，要在整个指导关系中纳入包容原则，从创造一个包容的环境开始，并考虑将包容纳入项目设计和导师培训中。包容是一个持续的过程，需要投入和维护。
