Outreach
Mission Statement
Our department is committed to fostering an environment that embraces a range of perspectives. The Outreach Committee has been established with the following goals:
-
- Educate department members on topics related to varied perspectives and backgrounds.
- Enhance recruitment and retention processes to broaden the range of faculty members.
- Improve recruitment processes to attract trainees with a wide array of backgrounds.
- Study and address disparities in healthcare outcomes within our system
Why are varied backgrounds essential to radiology?
Radiologists serve patients from various backgrounds, and having providers with different experiences leads to better patient care. These physicians contribute their unique experiences to the field, promoting cultural understanding. Healthcare inequalities affect those seeking radiology across many services, and we cannot successfully address these issues without appropriate representation in healthcare. Varied viewpoints promote innovation, which is particularly important in a constantly evolving field like radiology.
What are the benefits of having a team with varied experiences?
Providers with unique experiences can better understand patient needs. A radiology team composed of individuals from different backgrounds can address concerns and expand healthcare access for various communities, particularly those historically facing limited services. Employing varied perspectives enables creative solutions that improve patient outcomes and ensures the delivery of high-quality care.
