Abstract:
Over the last decade, health care professionals in the field of radiology have experienced increasing rates of burnout. A study in 2017 showed high prevalence of burnout in pediatric radiology, and other studies have identified several drivers for burnout. An important factor in promoting wellness and mitigating burnout is leveraging diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. This manuscript highlights the importance of diversity in high-functioning teams as well as the critical role of equity and inclusion in the workplace to help create an organization where people belong and can effectively succeed.
