Diversity in Radiology – Past and Present and What Recruitment Has to do with It!

Speaker: Andrea A. Birch, MD, FACR

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are more than buzzwords. Whether patient-facing, leadership, or behind the scenes, care teams that advocate for and reflect the populations they serve lead to improved patient outcomes. Lack of diversity in radiology diminishes access to quality care. In this interactive one-hour webinar, Dr. Andrea Birch discusses the history of African Americans in Radiology and Radiation Oncology and the pipelines of underrepresented persons in medicine. During the session, she will share how focusing on diversity in recruitment and hiring empowers everyone to contribute to the advancement of the radiologic profession and the care for an increasingly diverse population of patients. After the session, you are better able to:

• Recognize the history of African Americans in Radiology
• Create pipelines to increase the diversification of the radiology workforce.
• Build recruitment and retention strategies and policies to ensure a diverse workforce.
