Event

Greater diversity has been shown to improve problem solving. Yet, gender and racial differences persist throughout the spectrum of critical care, from patients to clinicians. This session will start with talks on disparities in outcomes in critical illness and will introduce practical strategies to reduce disparities. We will subsequently demonstrate how diversity in leadership teams improves outcomes through real world case studies. The session will then focus on pragmatic strategies to diversify the critical care workforce, research, and leadership committees, concluding with a panel discussion between the audience, speakers, and prominent leaders in critical care.
