Introduction: To describe structural changes that can be made in an emergency medicine residency program to increase diversity and foster an inclusive environment. Methods: We established a diversity committee to introduce several simultaneous structural changes focusing on resident recruitment, education and engagement. Some of these changes include establishment of a scholarship to recruit visiting students from diverse backgrounds and a second look weekend for minority applicants. Others focused on ensuring residency didactics, were inclusive and addressed topics pertaining to diversity in emergency medicine. Results: We increased the number of minority residents underrepresented in medicine matching in our program from zero to between 2 and 4 annually. We increased the percentage of women matching in our program from 33% to 47%. We worked with residency leadership to increase the number of didactics focusing on diversity and inclusion. Conclusions: Implementation of a Diversity Committee in emergency medicine training programs can be an important tool to improve diversity on a structural level. | ||
