Significant attention has focused on identifying strategies to retain and recruit women and underrepresented minorities in pulmonary and critical care medicine. Despite this, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in women and underrepresented in medicine (URiM) clinicians leaving pulmonary and critical care medicine not only because of the continued racism and sexism that exist but because of the additional challenges imposed by the pandemic. New solutions beyond bystander trainings and implicit bias tests are needed to address the challenges of the past two years. This session will highlight current system solutions that are being implemented and disseminated in academia at a systems level.
• Describe successfully implemented institutional and organizational system solutions which can be applied to the participants respective institutions and organizations
• Highlight new NIH strategies to support the pipeline of women and URiM into pulmonary and critical care
• Develop a deeper understanding of the challenges of implementing policies, the unforeseen issues, and how to overcome the challenges
