Description
In this lecture, Dr. Adesina reviews his DEI journey in ophthalmology and the lessons of diversity, equity and inclusion he has learned along the way. He discusses why diversity, equity, and inclusion are all needed for a state of inclusive well-being, why representation matters for patient care and encouraging URiMs in the next generation of ophthalmologists, and finally suggests ways to incorporate and increase diversity in the field of ophthalmology for the benefit of all.
