Video Summary

The AAPM&R's Diversity and Inclusion Journey session began with some housekeeping notes, including the recording of the webinar and the opportunity to submit questions through the chat feature. The session was planned for an hour, but could extend to 75 minutes to accommodate questions. The session focused on the AAPM&R's efforts in diversity and inclusion, which have been ongoing for several years and have recently been enhanced. The session included presentations from Dr. Vinesse, Dr. Kennedy, and Dr. Jones, who discussed the work of the Inclusion and Engagement Strategic Coordinating Committee and the Diversity and Inclusion Committee. The work of these committees has included the development of principles of inclusion and engagement, the creation of member communities, and the enhancement of member demographic data collection. The committees have also been working to address issues of mentorship and to develop resources and training on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The session concluded with a question and answer session during which participants were encouraged to provide feedback and share their ideas for promoting diversity and inclusion within the organization. Overall, the session provided an overview of the AAPM&R's ongoing efforts in diversity and inclusion and highlighted the progress that has been made thus far.
