Survey of equity, diversity, and inclusion in Canadian anesthesiology residency programs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increased diversity in the healthcare workforce is associated with a higher quality of patient care, reduction in health disparities, and enhanced team performance. Women and individuals from minoritized groups continue to face underrepresentation in the medical workforce. Specifically, existing data has shown women and minoritized groups are underrepresented in the speciality of anesthesiology in the United States. To address this, increased diversity is needed within residency training programs to better address the widening healthcare inequities affecting marginalized populations. Currently, there are no studies describing either the demographics of Canadian anesthesiology residents or equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives within their training programs.
