Diversity and Discrimination at the Workplace - A Survey of the Members of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This information will help to deconstruct obstacles to success, inform JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) initiatives by tracking demographics, and prevent the perpetuation of DBSH within our field.

Methods
