Closing the Gaps: Trust, Equity, and Mentorship in Medicine

Despite the well-documented benefits of a diverse clinician workforce-including improved patient care and stronger clinician-patient relationships-academic medical centers continue to experience the departure of Black and brown physicians, faculty, and staff. This exodus is driven by systemic issues such as insufficient support and mentorship, limited opportunities for career advancement, and a lack of genuine investment in resources to achieve diversity objectives. The loss of bedside clinicians not only impacts patient care but also places an additional burden on those who leave, depriving the next generation of clinicians of mentorship from those with shared backgrounds.
During this webinar, we explored the role that trust plays in fostering better workplace cultures, examined the underlying factors driving this attrition of Black and brown leaders in academic medicine, and discussed actionable strategies to create supportive environments where leaders and clinicians can thrive.
