Despite the increasing rhetoric in the Inclusive Workplace, minorities still face barriers to progressing beyond entry levels in the healthcare workplace. These barriers need to be eliminated, and intentional paths need to be created to ensure that everyone including minorities can reach their full potential in the healthcare workplace. Enhancing an inclusive healthcare workforce that moves minorities beyond the entry levels will unlock healthcare delivery that provides care that is not only of high quality but also culturally inclusive.

SESSION DETAILS:

Topic: Beyond the Rhetoric: Leading with Intentional Inclusion in Today’s Healthcare Workplace.

Date: Wednesday, January 24, 2024, BC: 10:00 am PT; AB: 11:00 am MT; ON/QC 1:00 pm ET; Bermuda 2:00 pm AT
