This study investigates demographic disparities within academic radiology and proposes strategies to enhance DEI. Through analysis of demographic data and a review of successful DEI initiatives, I identified a severe underrepresentation of URMs and women throughout every stage of the radiology pipeline. Challenges such as implicit bias, financial barriers, and lack of mentorship contribute to this disparity. However, promising initiatives like the Radiology Leadership Institute and the Association of University Radiologists Mentorship Program offer examples of progress in diversifying the field. To achieve true DEI in academic radiology, a multifaceted approach is essential, encompassing early outreach, financial aid, mentorship, inclusive recruitment, and a commitment to fostering a welcoming environment. Continuous evaluation and adaptation of these initiatives will pave the way for a more equitable and inclusive future in radiology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49541,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Ultrasound Ct and Mri","volume":"45 2","pages":"Pages 170-177"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139944578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
