The integration of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) principles into healthcare education is essential to ensure culturally sensitive and equitable healthcare delivery. In the domain of nutrition, food, and health, these principles are particularly vital, as diet and food choices are strongly linked to cultural identities and socioeconomic conditions. Despite a growth of DEIB initiatives in undergraduate and graduate medical education, there is a significant gap regarding guidelines for implementing DEIB principles in education around nutrition and food, including that for dietitians, allied health and medical professionals. A literature review was conducted, analyzing peer-reviewed articles and current practices in academic medical education to understand DEIB in nutrition, food, and health. The outcome was the creation of a three-tiered checklist titled "Checklist for Culturally Competent Education in Nutrition". It serves as a roadmap to cultivate culturally competent, equitable, and inclusive healthcare professionals that emphasizes avoiding bias, enhancing awareness, and building practical skills for DEIB implementation around nutrition.

At the same time, efforts are increasing to end DEIB programs and education in academic and work settings.

Developing a diverse Addiction Medicine (AM) workforce will improve medical and public health responses to the increasing health risks created by substance use disorders (SUDs). A workforce that embraces diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) principles may foster novel responses to address the disparities in treatment and outcomes experienced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) who are impacted by SUDs. However, experiences of bias and discrimination in the workplace and a lack of exposure to addiction-related content in educational settings limit opportunities to develop and retain a diverse workforce.
