Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) are key priorities to the future of our radiology practices aimed at delivering the best care to all patients, while fostering a sense of belonging among all patients and radiology professionals at all levels. Although new opportunities have risen over the past few years to advance the DEI goals and mission, the current environment has resulted in unexpected challenges that may impact the commitment to advance these goals. In alignment with RSNA’s commitment to advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB), it is paramount that radiologists are equipped with the necessary knowledge toolkit to navigate emerging challenges and foster opportunities that advance the DEIB goals. The goal of this session is to provide radiologists with a leadership perspective on how to successfully advance DEI goals in the current environment and to overcome emerging barriers in the future.
