ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Currently, the increasing diversity of our society is poorly reflected in the urology workforce. In this review, we sought to address this disparity by highlighting key components involved in forming an academic urology department and training program that is focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as well as recruitment and retention of underrepresented in medicine (URiM) trainees and faculty. RECENT FINDINGS:
We identified obstacles and provided approaches to enhance the ability of a department in creating a DEI-based curriculum and recruitment strategy with a key focus on understanding and addressing unconscious biases and microaggressions in the workplace. Substantive changes in the level of diversity within the urologic community can be made through the organization of a structured approach to increasing DEI. It starts with a commitment from each department to form achievable goals surrounding early mentorship of URiM students and trainees, an inclusive curriculum that is rooted in DEI, and targeted benchmarks for recruitment and retention of diverse staff.Palavras-chave
