SUMMARY:Addressing Disparities in Pediatric Physician Workforce Diversity: Insights\, Barriers\, and Pathway Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, October 16th\, from 12 – 1 PM ET for a FREE WEBINAR\nRegistration is required \nRegister Now \nThis presentation will focus on addressing the urgent need to increase racial and ethnic diversity within the pediatric physician workforce\, a critical issue given the growing diversity of the U.S. child population. Despite increasing numbers of URiM youth\, representation among pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists remains disproportionately low. The session will explore systemic and structural barriers that hinder URiM students’ progression into pediatrics\, including lack of early exposure\, limited mentorship\, and financial constraints. \nWe will highlight national trends from the NRMP Match and ABP subspecialty data\, the benefits of racially concordant care\, and the importance of identity-concordant mentorship in shaping specialty choice. The session will also present current national initiatives\, including the APPD Confronting Racism Taskforce\, and innovative tools such as the URiM Mentoring Map pathway initiative. Finally\, we will introduce a cross-sectional study to identify mentorship models and program features that most effectively support URiM pediatric trainees from early education through career selection. This session will be relevant for medical educators\, program directors\, faculty mentors\, EDI leaders\, researchers\, and trainees interested in advancing equity in the pediatric workforce. \n\nPresenters:\nTatiana Ndjatou\, MD\nAssistant Professor of Pediatrics\, Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell \nBeth Wueste\, PhD\, MAEd\, LSSBB\nDirector\, Academic Assessment and Compliance\, UT Health San Antonio School of Nursing \nTyler K.
