We identified obstacles and provided approaches to enhance the ability of a department in creating a DEI-based curriculum and recruitment strategy with a key focus on understanding and addressing unconscious biases and microaggressions in the workplace. Substantive changes in the level of diversity within the urologic community can be made through the organization of a structured approach to increasing DEI. It starts with a commitment from each department to form achievable goals surrounding early mentorship of URiM students and trainees, an inclusive curriculum that is rooted in DEI, and targeted benchmarks for recruitment and retention of diverse staff.
