RSNA's Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (CDEI) plans to hold educational sessions at the upcoming RSNA annual meeting in Chicago.
The sessions will benefit members in all career levels and will include numerous courses, scientific presentations, lectures, and exhibits related to health equity, the RSNA said.
Sessions will include the following:
- Safety Net Hospitals, Health Disparities, and Unique Barriers to Care
- Cultivating Allyship: Building an All-inclusive Specialty
- Beyond the Binary: Imaging Findings, Screening Guidelines, and Radiology Practice Considerations for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Patients
"In addition to this work, the committee has been working with the RSNA R&E Foundation to create an emerging issues grant that addresses interventions and solutions to health care disparities," incoming CDEI chair Dr. Maureen Kohi of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill said in an RSNA statement. "The committee also continues to advocate for and be a referral source for other RSNA committees working to improve the diversity and makeup of their existing committee memberships."
