This first-of-its-kind book for underrepresented�racial and ethnic minorities (URM), women, and sexual and gender minorities in medicine offers the core knowledge and skills needed to achieve a well-planned, fulfilling career in academic medicine. The knowledge and skills provided by the esteemed�co-authors,�successful diverse pre-faculty, and junior and senior�academicians, are complemented by their�inspirational and motivational stories.

Despite this established core�value, certain groups such as Black/African-American, Latino/Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native-identified individuals, women, and�sexual and gender minorities, are still present in lower proportions compared with the general population and lack inclusion. In 12 chapters and witha unique focus on a practical approach to increasing diversity and inclusion in academic medicine, this book demystifies the often-insular world of academic medicine. It comprehensively outlines career opportunities and associated responsibilities, how to transform academic-related work to scholarship, and�offers a clear and transparent look into the academic appointment and promotion process.
