Objective:
To evaluate the presence of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) among US occupational and environmental medicine (OEM) residency program websites.
Methods:
In January to February 2022, two independent reviewers evaluated the websites of all 24 US accredited OEM residency programs and documented the presence of 10 predetermined DEI metrics and resident/faculty photographs and biographies.
Results:
Program websites included a median of 1 (0-3) DEI element with 46% of websites containing none of the DEI metrics. Faculty photographs and biographies were included in 83% and 75% of websites, respectively. Resident photographs and biographies were included in 50% and 25% of websites, respectively.
Conclusions:
Many OEM residency program websites lack DEI presence. Programs should consider presenting information relevant to DEI on their websites to help attract more diverse applicant pools.
