A panel of experts examines how structural racism affects diversity in the psychiatry workforce. Topics include the disproportionate number of minority psychiatrists, their experiences in different practice settings, and why having diversity in the psychiatric workforce is important for everyone. The discussants describe ways to grow a diverse workforce in psychiatry, including pipeline programs like APA's, making academic psychiatry settings inclusive and welcoming spaces for diverse students, residents and attending psychiatrists, and ways to increase the number of minority underrepresented psychiatrists who are promoted to higher academic, administrative, clinical and research in hospitals, communities and organized psychiatry. The advantages of having a diverse psychiatric workforce are also explored.
