“…25 More recently, a comprehensive radiology graduate medical education diversity recruitment plan developed and implemented at Vanderbilt University Medical Center similarly engaged in recruitment activities and provided early exposure and mentoring opportunities for students interested in radiology. 26 Their combined efforts resulted in an increase in the number of radiology residents UIM within their program from 0% (2013-2014 academic year) to 20% (2018-2019 academic year) and also within the overall radiology applicant pool. 26…”

The “Race” Toward Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity in Pathology: The Johns Hopkins Experience

With 3.8% black trainees in 2012, pathology had significantly fewer trainees from groups underrepresented in medicine compared to other specialties. To address this, faculty in the Johns Hopkins Department of Pathology established an outreach program and funded rotation for students underrepresented in medicine and from disadvantaged groups. The aims were to increase exposure to the field and improve diversity, inclusion, and equity in pathology. A 1-month rotation for students underrepresented in medicine was established in 2013. Rotation schedules tailored to each rotator’s interests included resident conferences and individual faculty meetings. In 2016, a proactive outreach program was established. Faculty visited historically black medical schools and underrepresented in medicine student groups at other institutions, where they gave a “Careers in Pathology” presentation targeted to second- and third-year medical students. Faculty also attended underrepresented in medicine student conferences and participated in high school student programs to further expand the underrepresented in medicine pipeline into medicine and pathology. Since 2016, fourteen outreach presentations have been delivered. The number of rotators increased from 1 in 2013 to 18 in July 2019. Rotators self-identified as African, African American, Hispanic, and Native American. Most were second- to fourth-year medical students, and 1 was a pathology resident. Six rotators are currently pathology residents, and others are strongly considering applying to pathology. The outreach efforts account for the success of our rotation, which, in turn, has had a positive impact on interest in pathology. However, we recognize barriers to retention and intend to incorporate additional professional development activities to further address equity.

“…One institution has demonstrated that an intentional, strategic diversity program has had success in diversifying an institution’s residency applicant pool and increasing representation of underrepresented minorities in a diagnostic radiology residency program. 4 The authors of this study found active engagement and participation of the department chair in recruitment activities sent a strong message of the department’s commitment to diversity. This diversity program suggests establishing a clear vision, gaining leadership support, and developing a written diversity plan.…”

“…Cancelation of in-person electives limits opportunities for interaction with radiologists and radiation oncologists and decreases the visibility of women in radiology. Opportunities to interact with women radiologists and radiation oncologists have often encouraged women medical students to pursue the field of imaging [17]. Without these opportunities, women medical students may be less familiar with and less likely to pursue the fields of radiology and radiation oncology.…”
