Abstract

There are numerous benefits to increasing diversity and inclusion within our radiology departments, and both areas need to be a part of our core mission to garner real change. A diverse and inclusive radiology department not only benefits the radiology department, but also our patients and society as a whole. Our paper provides our thoughts on a practical step-by-step guide on how to increase both diversity and inclusion within the radiology workplace, such that every voice can be heard, and every person can be seen.
