Radiology efforts to address health equity require the investment of meaningful resources to diversify the radiology workforce. However, diversity efforts often may fall short without mentorship that considers the mentees sociocultural background to ensure a sense of belonging. Culturally Aware Mentoring (CAM) seeks to address this gap in the mentor-mentee relationship, by forming a bidirectional relationship that takes into consideration their sociocultural background and uses this approach to create new pathways for career advancement. To effectively mentor radiology faculty and trainees across radiology among all practice settings, it is paramount that culturally aware mentoring (CAM) is included in efforts to improve successful mentoring in radiology.
