Addressing Disparities in Pediatric Physician Workforce Diversity: Insights, Barriers, and Pathway Solutions

Join us on Thursday, October 16th, from 12 – 1 PM ET for a FREE WEBINAR
Registration is required
Register Now
This 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.
We 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.

Negotiating Toward the Career You Really Want: A 60-Minute Interactive Webinar
Feeling stretched, misaligned, or stuck in a role that no longer reflects what you value most? Looking for your first or next job? Studies show that professional fulfillment and well-being are linked to whether our daily work feels meaningful and aligned with our core values.

The APA Faculty Development and Well-Being and Vitality SIGs invite you to join our upcoming webinar offering a value-based approach to career design and negotiation. You will learn practical frameworks and strategies to help you move closer to the career you actually want.
________________________________________
What You’ll Take Away
• An exercise for clarifying your core values
• A framework for assessing value misalignment and identifying realistic opportunities to redesign your current (or future) role
• Negotiation language and strategies that support values-aligned career changes, even in complex institutional environments
________________________________________
Who Should Attend
This workshop is ideal for trainees embarking on the job hunt and faculty at any career stage who are seeking greater alignment, meaning, and sustainability in their work—and who want practical strategies they can use immediately.
