CNS Foundation Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

From leaders of large medical institutions to the youngest early career practitioners, one of the most pressing responsibilities in the medical field is to increase inclusivity by improving the collective practices for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Prioritizing DEI will make neurosurgeons better leaders and investigators. Perhaps most importantly, this new priority will make us better practitioners for our patients and their families, help us diversify the neurosurgery workforce and overcome health care disparities. As such, the CNS Foundation’s newest pillar is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
