“… 27 The Black Lives Matter movement and COVID-related health disparities, however, have resulted in greater awareness of racial injustices and white privilege in society at large. In response, there has been a growth of literature in this area in relation to academic medicine leadership—in psychiatry; 28 – 30 surgery; 31 , 32 family medicine; 33 neurosurgery; 34 radiology; 35 – 37 leadership, 38 and more.…”

Purpose: Equitable appointments of departmental leaders in medical schools have lagged behind other Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) advancements. The purpose of this research was to 1) analyze how policy documents communicate changing ideas of EDI, employment equity, and departmental leadership; and 2) investigate department heads’ perspectives on EDI policies and practices. Methods: We conducted a critical discourse analysis to examine underlying assumptions shaping EDI and departmental leadership in one Canadian medical school. We created and analyzed a textual archive of EDI documents (n = 17, 107 pages) and in-depth interviews with past (n = 6) and current (n = 12) department heads (830 minutes; 177 pages). Results: Documents framed EDI as: a legal requirement; an aspiration; and historical reparation. In interviews, participants framed EDI as: affirmative action; relationships; numerical representation; and relinquishing privilege. We noted inconsistent definitions of equity-deserving groups. Conclusions: Change is slowly happening, with emerging awareness of white privilege, allyship, co-conspiracy, and the minority tax. However, there is more urgent work to be done. This work requires an intersectional lens. Centering the voices, and taking cues from, equity-deserving leaders and scholars, will help ensure that EDI pathways, such as those used to cultivate department leaders, are more inclusive, effective, and aligned with intentions.

“…In an effort to assess and address EDI issues in Canada, the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) created five EDI subcommittees respectively addressing: diversity statements; encouraging radiology residency applications; bias in recruitment, hiring, promotion, and awards; the development of an EDI toolkit; and gender pay gap. Most of the subcommittees repeated the call to increase demographic data collection to base their strategies and initiatives on the status of the Canadian radiology workforce [ 14 ].…”
