Physicians within the family medicine workforce are the most diverse compared to other medical specialties in both primarily clinical and academic settings. Family physicians also provide care to the most diverse patients and communities across the United States. As such, research and scholarly work from family physicians on diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism (DEIA) can be incredibly impactful. Yet many practicing and teaching physicians are unaware of their colleagues' scholarly DEIA work, which aims to elucidate inequities and barriers to optimal care and, importantly, to educate on ways physicians and learners can recognize and address specific needs of patients and communities marginalized by health care policies and practices. In collaboration with editors from several family medicine journals, the authors move beyond the traditional editorial space to share recent practice-changing and innovative articles, adding voice and momentum to improve DEIA efforts in all spaces where the practice and teaching of family medicine exists.
与其他医学专科相比，家庭医学领域的医生在主要临床和学术环境中最为多样化。家庭医生还为美国各地最多样化的患者和社区提供护理。因此，家庭医生关于多样性、公平、包容和反种族主义（DEIA）的研究和学术工作可能具有巨大影响力。然而，许多执业和教学医生并不了解同事的学术DEIA工作，这些工作旨在阐明获得最佳护理的不平等现象和障碍，重要的是，教育医生和学习者如何认识和满足被医疗政策和实践边缘化的患者和社区的特定需求。作者与几家家庭医学期刊的编辑合作，超越了传统的编辑空间，分享最近改变实践和创新的文章，为在家庭医学实践和教学存在的所有领域改善DEIA工作增添声音和动力。
