Diversity in academic medicine and research enhances the quality of the science produced and the efficacy of patient care. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) statements have recently been suggested or required by academic job postings as a way to measure candidate's commitments to fostering DEIA in their role. In this perspective, we discuss steps to craft effective DEIA statements that convey your actions in, and commitment to, DEIA. We recognize that mandating DEIA statements may actually result in inauthentic or disingenuous statements and offer solutions to encouraging academics to arrive at a meaningful statement that represents their own perspectives on diversity. Last, we provide examples of DEIA statements from three academics at different career points.
学术医学和研究的多样性提高了科学研究的质量和患者护理的效果。多样性、公平、包容和可及性（DEIA）声明最近被学术职位空缺建议或要求，作为衡量候选人在其角色中培养 DEIA 承诺的一种方式。在这篇观点文章中，我们讨论了制定有效 DEIA 声明的步骤，以传达您在 DEIA 方面的行动和承诺。我们认识到，强制要求 DEIA 声明实际上可能导致不真实或不真诚的声明，并提供了鼓励学者发表有意义的声明的解决方案，以代表他们自己对多样性的观点。最后，我们提供了三位处于不同职业阶段的学者的 DEIA 声明示例。
