METHODS: This perspective summarizes current and existing challenges in improving recruitment efforts of underrepresented in medicine (URiM) trainees and those from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.
CONCLUSIONS: While acknowledging current DEI initiatives, the authors point out those underappreciated modifiable and nonmodifiable obstacles that perpetuate the lack of equity and inclusivity in the match process. We emphasize the importance of continued commitment from program directors and chairs to these initiatives and its generational augmentative effects on achieving true and lasting diversity and equity.
方法:这个观点总结了当前和现有的挑战,在改进医学中代表性不足(URiM)的学员和那些来自社会经济背景的学员的招聘工作。
结论:在承认当前的DEI计划的同时,作者指出了那些被低估的可修改和不可修改的障碍,这些障碍使比赛过程中缺乏公平性和包容性长期存在。我们强调项目主管和主席对这些举措的持续承诺及其对实现真正和持久的多样性和公平的代代相传效应的重要性。
