PL6.3: Who Gets to Ask and Answer Questions, and Why it is Important

In academic medicine and science, lack of true diversity and lack of operationalized inclusiveness are important drivers of oppres-sive learning environments, impaired productivity, and ultimately health inequities. They further contribute to attenuated suc-cess in understanding and treating complex disease. Lack of true diversity and inclusion however is driven by systemic “isms” which must be addressed. Especially if the goal is to achieve not only diversity, but equity and justice. Although disruption of inherent systems of discrimination appears to be a daunting task, there are practical steps that can be taken by individuals, groups, and institution. Different perspectives on this issue will be discussed.
