Background: The University of Cincinnati (UC) participated in a learning collaborative aimed at preparing a culturally sensitive, diverse, and prepared health workforce.
Objectives: Describe the development, accomplishments, and lessons learned of an academic-community partnership vested in improving health care workforce diversity and health disparities in the Greater Cincinnati region.
Methods: Researchers created a Community Advisory Board (CAB) consisting of university, community, and health system representatives. The CAB addressed gaps in workforce diversity data and catalyzed the formation of new regional partnerships, resulting in a multipronged strategy for improving health workforce diversity and health disparities.
Lessons Learned: The academic-community partnership was enhanced by composition of the CAB and inclusion of diverse, credible, and collaborative partners; cultural humility by academic researchers; establishment of trust and respect; and a shared commitment to common goals.
Conclusions: By sharing decision making with the CAB, academic researchers expanded their engagement and influence on community issues.

Training programs in pulmonary and critical care medicine have greatly expanded in the past decade, yet they do not reflect the racial/ethnic and economic diversity of the United States, which has significant implications for health equity. The lack of representation across medical education is likely to worsen with the recent Supreme Court decision banning affirmative action. The authors review health disparities in pulmonary and critical care medicine, the relationship of the workforce to health equity, and 10 tactics for addressing this urgent public health issue.
