A novel, multi-institutional DEI journal club is described, which can be an important component of the DEI curriculum as it provides non-local perspectives and insights into specific issues and allows for a simple way to introduce DEI training in programs currently without such training.

Abstract

Topics of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are an integral component of post-graduate medical education. However, it is currently unclear the extent to which physical medicine and rehabilitation residency programs have incorporated a DEI curriculum into their training programs. Here, a novel, multi-institutional DEI journal club is described. This journal club format can be an important component of the DEI curriculum as it provides non-local perspectives and insights into specific issues and allows for a simple way to introduce DEI training in programs currently without such training. The virtual format also provides further opportunities for discussion and networking.
