Abstract

Structural racism and racial microaggression pose detrimental effects with regard to recruitment and retention of a diverse workforce. We propose a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) curriculum that centers around three core concepts including unconscious bias, microaggressions, and allyship. Prior to the administration of our diversity curriculum which composes of a series of four 2-hr workshops, an introductory DEI session was administered and evaluated.
