“…Engaging and investing in pipeline training programs and early education initiatives for URMs can help increase medical school and residency diversity. [43][44][45] Such efforts are essential but will take time. GME, however, has an additional potential avenue to change the equity, diversity, and inclusion dynamics of the physician workforce relatively quickly.…”

“…Pathway programs can be implemented as early as elementary school with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)-focused groups and can continue through medical school and residency with subspecialty interest groups and electives (19)(20)(21)(22)(23). Critical elements of successful pathway programs include promoting interest in a specific field, providing mentorship, opportunities for skills development or research, and improving matriculation to undergraduate or medical school programs (22,(24)(25)(26). Additionally, many successful programs seek to reduce the financial burden of education through grants and scholarships (20,21,27).…”

Despite growing recognition of the need for increased diversity among students, trainees, and faculty in health care, the medical workforce still lacks adequate representation from groups historically underrepresented in medicine (URiM). The subspecialty field of pediatric pulmonology is no exception. Although there have been efforts to address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in our own field, gaps persist. To address these gaps, the members of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Group (DEI-AG) of the American Thoracic Society Pediatrics Assembly created and distributed a Needs Assessment Survey in the United States and Canada to better understand the racial and ethnic demographics of the pediatric pulmonary workforce and to learn more about successes, gaps, and opportunities to enhance how we recruit, train, and retain a diverse workforce. The DEI-AG leadership cochairs convened a workshop to review the findings of the DEI Needs Assessment Survey and to develop strategies to improve the recruitment and retention of URiM fellows and faculty. This Official ATS Workshop Report aims to identify barriers and opportunities for recruitment, training, and career development within the field of pediatric pulmonology. Additionally, we offer useful strategies and resources to improve the recruitment of URiM residents, the mentorship of trainees and junior faculty, and the career development of URiM faculty in academic centers. This Workshop Report is an important first deliverable by the DEI-AG. We hope that this work, originating from within the Pediatrics Assembly, will serve as a model for other Assemblies, disciplines across the ATS, and other fields in Pediatrics.

“…Engaging young adults and adolescents through social media platforms can create virtual communities where they interact with peers and healthcare experts, fostering interest and awareness about healthcare professions (Kumar and Dhyani, 2023). Moreover, initiatives like medicalstudent-led programming aim to increase diversity in the healthcare workforce by creating pipeline programs for students interested in pursuing medical careers, particularly focusing on underrepresented minorities (Muppala et al, 2021). Furthermore, developing the leadership competencies of healthcare professionals is crucial for building an engaged and productive workforce.…”

Amidst a burgeoning digital landscape, the role of digital marketing in shaping students’ attitudes towards healthcare professions remains relatively unexplored. This study aimed to investigate how digital marketing influences students’ perspectives about healthcare careers, with a specific focus on students in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study involved a survey of 148 students from Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Respondents were asked about their exposure to various forms of digital marketing and their attitudes towards healthcare professions. The study revealed a significant relationship between students’ exposure to digital marketing and their attitudes towards healthcare professions. Notably, higher levels of digital marketing exposure were associated with more positive attitudes towards healthcare careers. Additionally, the findings suggest that targeted advertising campaigns and engaging social media content play a crucial role in shaping these attitudes. The study underscores the potential of digital marketing in addressing the challenges of healthcare workforce shortages and uneven distribution. It highlights the need for educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and policymakers to harness digital marketing strategies effectively to enhance the appeal of healthcare professions among potential students and professionals.
