摘要：

Background: Diversity and inclusion are terms that have been used widely in a variety of contexts, but these concepts have only been intertwined into the discussion in healthcare in the recent past. It is important to have a healthcare workforce which represents the tapestry of our communities as it relates to race/ethnicity, gender. sexual orientation, immigration status, physical disability status, and socioeconomic level to render the best possible care to our diverse patient populations. Methods: We explore efforts by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). the Institute of Medicine (IOM), and other medical organizations to improve diversity and inclusion in medicine. Conclusion: Finally, we report on best practices, frameworks, and strategies which have been utilized to improve diversity and inclusion in healthcare.
