There is a lack of diversity among neurologists, who are disproportionately white men, but new programs aimed at inclusivity may help neurologists to better reflect the communities they serve.
Racial, ethnic, and gender disparities among neurologists, and strategies to address them, were discussed in several talks at this year’s virtual American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting, which began April 17 and ends today.
