Abstract
Lack of diversity in Radiology is a public health problem and may be self perpetuating as diverse candidates view the field as hostile to their entry and advancement, and consequently do not apply into the field. Solutions require understanding the obstacles, which range from enrollment in medical school to achieving leadership positions in Radiology. An understanding of the effect of demographic data on diversity in Radiology, disparate effects of Step examinations, medical school grades and induction into academic honor societies, and existing faculty disparities will allow us to better recruit, train, and retain a diverse group of physicians in our field. The downstream effect of a diverse workforce is improvement in health outcomes and disparities in medical care for our communities.
