Article Synopsis
- The representation of underrepresented minorities (URMs) in cardiothoracic anesthesiology is significantly lacking, with slow progress towards diversity.
- Despite strides in gender representation in medical schools, women and URMs remain underrepresented in this subspecialty.
- This article emphasizes the need for increased efforts to improve diversity in cardiac anesthesiology and highlights the unique challenges faced by URM physicians that require tailored solutions.
This paper is the first of a four-part series that details the current barriers to diversity in the field of adult cardiothoracic anesthesiology and outlines actionable programs that can be implemented to create change. Part I and Part II address the training experience of women and underrepresented minorities (URMs) in adult cardiothoracic anesthesiology (ACTA), respectively, and explore concrete opportunities to promote positive change. Part III and Part IV examine the professional experience of URMs and women in ACTA, respectively, and discuss interventions that can facilitate a more equitable and inclusive environment for both groups.
