One of the best ways to ensure sustainable success in DEI initiatives
is to address these essential issues prior to and during medical
school. The premedical pipeline must encourage a diverse group of
medical school applicants to seek positions in medical schools where
they know that they will be mentored by engaged faculty committed
to DEI. Proof of this commitment is the fact that the DEI initiatives
should not be independent curricular offerings but rather embedded
in every aspect of the entire curriculum. In addition to faculty
mentors, alumni and activated allies should be a valuable resource.
These topics will be addressed by internationally renowned medical
school deans, each of whom will offer examples of how to succeed
and share immediately implementable toolkits and pathways to
achieve these important goals.
