We would all like to think of ourselves and our clinics as supportive of diversity, but are we? In order to practice tolerance and be accepting of diversity, we must first look at the biases held within ourselves, our culture, and our profession. We have a special panel prepared for you who can speak first-hand about their diverse backgrounds and the challenges they face.
