The AOFAS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative was established to:
- conduct an assessment of the current AOFAS environment
- identify ways to address DEI issues in the workplace and in patient care
- work toward increased representation of under-represented minorities (URM) in foot and ankle orthopaedics as a profession as well as in AOFAS leadership roles
Watch as DEI Committee Chair Gary W. Stewart, MD, and Vice Chair Tonya L. Dixon, MD, MPH, introduce the committee and their goals for the AOFAS membership. Learn more at aofas.org/DEI.
Funding for the DEI Initiative is provided by the Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Foundation, supported by a grant from Stryker.
