Abstract
Rationale and objectives
To assess whether academic radiology departments and residency programs with efforts toward supporting and augmenting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are associated with a higher proportion of residents from diverse backgrounds.
Materials and methods
Program Directors within the Radiology Residency Education Research Alliance were surveyed to gather information about program characteristics, incorporation of diversity in resident recruitment, the sponsoring department's commitment to efforts at expanding diversity, and a summary of their current and past residents, staff and faculty members (academic years 2020 and 2023) with respect to a list of diversity characteristics.
Results
Survey response rate was 51 %. Sixty-three percent (15/24) of participating programs have departmental committees dedicated to DEI work; 46 % (11/24) of programs' departments have a Vice Chair for DEI. Sixty percent (15/24) of programs use their social media accounts to advertise their DEI programming efforts. Ninety-six percent (23/24) of programs participating in the survey use diversity factors to select candidates for their program. Women Leadership was associated with above-median diversity of residents and faculty.
Conclusion
This study of radiology residency programs encourages a more prominent role for women in leadership positions within academic radiology departments to drive diversity and inclusion efforts.
理论依据和目标评估放射学术部门和住院医师培训项目在支持和加强多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)方面的努力是否与来自不同背景的住院医师比例较高有关。材料与方法对放射学住院医师教育研究联盟的项目主任进行了调查,以收集有关项目特点、住院医师招聘中的多样性融入、主办部门对扩大多样性的承诺,以及他们目前和过去的住院医师、员工和教职员工(2020和2023学年)在多样性特点列表方面的情况。63%(15/24)的参与项目设有专门负责多元化发展工作的部门委员会;46%(11/24)的项目所在部门设有负责多元化发展工作的副主席。60%(15/24)的项目使用社交媒体账户宣传其 DEI 计划工作。在参与调查的项目中,96%(23/24)的项目使用多元化因素来选择项目候选人。女性领导力与住院医师和教职员工的多样性高于中位数有关。结论这项对放射科住院医师培训项目的研究鼓励女性在放射科学术部门的领导岗位上发挥更突出的作用,以推动多样性和包容性工作。
期刊介绍:
The mission of Clinical Imaging is to publish, in a timely manner, the very best radiology research from the United States and around the world with special attention to the impact of medical imaging on patient care. The journal''s publications cover all imaging modalities, radiology issues related to patients, policy and practice improvements, and clinically-oriented imaging physics and informatics. The journal is a valuable resource for practicing radiologists, radiologists-in-training and other clinicians with an interest in imaging. Papers are carefully peer-reviewed and selected by our experienced subject editors who are leading experts spanning the range of imaging sub-specialties, which include:
-Body Imaging-
Breast Imaging-
