Why is Navigating Diversity so Challenging?
Throughout most of human history, we lived in communities full of people just like us. Little changed from generation to generation. Our minds, reactions, and ways of thinking developed in a world where “different” was often connected to a threat.
However, the current world of healthcare is a stark contrast. Most of us work with, teach, and provide patient care for people very different from ourselves.
This rapid shift from homogeneity to diversity, coupled with rapid change and our automatic predisposition to view ‘different’ as a potential threat, has made diversity and rapid change a challenge – one that we are all too familiar with and aware of and even more ways we are not.
Healthcare organizations, educational institutions, providers, clinicians, and educators are committed to supporting a diverse workforce and providing high-quality and bias-free patient care. However, the success of these efforts has been limited, largely due to the lack of a robust evidence-based approach. This is where Diversity Science, with its deep understanding and expertise in the complexities of healthcare and diversity, steps in.
