Recruiting a diverse faculty is necessary for fostering inclusive environments at medical schools. The current study describes the creation and implementation of a faculty-led Diversity Liaison Program (DLP). After a faculty-wide assessment of attitudes regarding diversity, volunteer faculty participants in the DLP received training about identifying and mitigating bias in the search process, as well as methods for increasing search pool diversity.
