Abstract

This article discusses the implementation of a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) curriculum for health research professionals at a large academic research institution. The curriculum consisted of four workshops aimed at increasing knowledge of core DEI concepts and improving skills for inclusive behaviors. Attendees showed increased DEI knowledge and perceived skills throughout the sessions. The curriculum was developed based on a needs assessment survey and feedback from department members. The workshops focused on topics such as unconscious bias, cultural humility, microaggressions, and allyship. The article emphasizes the importance of diversity and inclusion in the fields of public health and health sciences. [Extracted from the article]
