Advocacy to Support Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

June 07, 2022

The Society advocates for policies to increase diversity, support inclusion, and provide health equity.  This includes developing policies to address social determinants of health, increase diversity in clinical trials, accessing health care, addressing diversity in the research and medical workforce, and providing care to different patient populations. 

  • Position Statement: The Society published a policy perspective on eradicating racism in endocrinology. Society member Ruban Dhaliwal, MD, MPH, led the development of the position statement and recommendations to eradicate racism in endocrinology. 
  • Influencing NIH Strategic Plans: The Society has provided comments and recommendations that have been incorporated in the strategic plans for NIH Institutes. Society member Ruth Keri, PhD, led our successful efforts to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion in NIH strategic plans.
