•  The focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in academic medicine has increased over the past years. In this chapter, we address the history of disparities in the medical field to explain the context and need for DEI efforts. This chapter will give insight into topics such as imposter syndrome, microaggressions, and minority tax, with the goal of providing tools to protect the physicians most impacted. For those not personally affected, it will offer ways to better support colleagues who are facing discrimination. Finally, for those with the goal of pursuing academic medicine, this chapter will provide the context and resources needed to succeed while promoting diversity and inclusion. While some of the topics discussed may be disheartening, we provide examples of steps already underway to support physicians who are underrepresented in medicine. The focus here is on the challenges facing physicians in the United States, but many of the issues discussed are relevant worldwide.
