Abstract

Cardiac surgery and cardiology consistently have the lowest representation of women and racial minorities among all the specialties. The poor representation of minorities and women in cardiology and cardiac surgery is compounded by the fact that heart failure risk continues to rise in the United States (US) and disproportionately affects non-white patients. Inclusion in academia is imperative in diversifying the workforce and in turn, in improving the care we provide to all of our patients.
