SCCM Resource Library-Actions for Change: Walking the Walk

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video transcript discusses the actions being taken by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the field of critical care medicine. The SCCM has created a diversity committee to raise awareness of the benefits of increased diversity and encourage participation by underrepresented populations. They have also had a diverse leadership, including multiple women presidents. Moving forward, the SCCM aims to remove divisive terms and develop a contemporary lexicon to describe BIPOC and LGBTQ individuals. They will also collect preferred pronouns and provide training on DEI and implicit bias. Furthermore, they will review awards criteria and develop a mentorship program to engage underrepresented members. The SCCM is committed to implementing DEI throughout all organizational activities.
