Gause SA, Vranas KC. Workforce Diversity and Equity Among Critical Care Physicians. [Abstract]. Critical care clinics. 2024 Oct 1; 40(4):767-787.



Abstract:

Health disparities persist among minoritized populations. A diverse clinician workforce may help address these disparities and improve patient outcomes; however, diversity in the critical are workforce (particularly among women and those historically underrepresented in medicine (URiM)) is lacking. This review describes factors contributing to low respresentation of women and URiM in critical care medicine, and proposes strategies to overcome those barriers.
