Course Description: The course will review the statistics of underrepresented Blacks and Latinos in urology. Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are necessary for the advancement of urology. We will also include the LGBTQ population with respect to diversifying the urology workforce and identifying specific patient needs for the LGBTQ population. We will define the different types of racism and educate participants on the definition of racial and gender-based microaggression. We will identify tactics to address microaggressions in medicine. We will review implementation of the AUA diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) recommendations. We will discuss how participants can identify and address racist and homophobic policies and practices in the practice of urology. We will provide resources and references for participants who desire to diversify the urology workforce.
