“…Note that journal club leaders should review the body of literature beyond the list included earlier, as this area of research is currently active, and the available literature is continually expanding. For example, since the list included in the previous section was compiled, there have been thought-provoking, evidencebased articles, reviews, and book chapters published on ethics and artificial intelligence in radiation oncology, 22 EDI in radiation oncology residency programs, 23 global inequities in radiation therapy access in low-and middle-income countries, 24 inequities in radiation therapy access within the United States, 25 EDI topics in radiation oncology, 26 and an EDI climate survey in medical physics. 27 It is noted that the broad range of publications that could be used to explore EDI topics cover an extensive scope of problems, including the needs to improve workforce diversity, to reduce health care disparities and increase access to quality health care across the patient population, and to foster a culture of belonging within the profession.…”

A journal club program was initiated in a clinically focused, geographically distributed medical physics therapy residency program. This program currently supports two residents at different clinical sites, who regularly present at the new journal club. For one of the sessions, residents were assigned to present on topics related to the broad themes of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the context of medical physics, radiation oncology, or medical oncology. As in other journal club sessions, residents were responsible for choosing their respective articles within required criteria and with approval from the program director. The session was executed in late 2022, with both residents leading and facilitating discussion for the residents, the residency program director, and all residency faculty members. This education case report will include the learning objectives for the journal club session, a description of the content covered in the session, discussion regarding the session's alignment with the original learning objectives, and ideas for program directors intending to include evidence‐based EDI topics in journal clubs.
