ABSTRACT: In recent years, the medical field has recognized the pivotal role of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in enhancing patient care and addressing health-care disparities. Orthopaedic surgery has embraced these principles to create a more inclusive and representative workforce. A DEI symposium that was sponsored by the American Orthopaedic Association convened orthopaedic surgeons, researchers, educators, and stakeholders to discuss challenges and strategies for implementing DEI initiatives. The symposium emphasized the importance of equity, and fostered conversations on creating equal opportunities and resources. Speakers covered key topics, including establishing DEI divisions, metrics for success, DEI leadership, and available resources, and promoted excellence and innovation in orthopaedic surgery through a more diverse and inclusive approach.
